Yeah, I agree that the first version of a major release can be a bit hairy. > so there are bound to be bugs in their optimizer also, Well that's like saying there were bound to be bugs in postgres 8.0 ;> > and I know there are some that will see "the latest and > greatest", install it and come flying at us when its possible > that its a bug in the newer GCC itself ... So just make the build system detect the version number and compile with -O0 or -O1 for gcc >= 4.0. ;> Anyway, that's what I thought the regression tests are for. Or is the development team unlikely to do any builds against 4.x for a while? __ David B.
