I copuld make sense to add gcc 3.0.x as supported platform because of Epson KOWA. I explain my words. I am using only gcc 3.0.2 so i cannot use a precompiled library for 2.95.4.
I would like to use the KOWA Iscan software on my epson 1650photo but i cannot because it has a binary only library for gcc 2.95.4. I have written to KOWA and they says they will give precompiled for gcc 3 only after sane will support it. This seems to me just a way to give an answer, but is there will be written on that page "gcc 3.0.x" supported they will have to find a new excuse... bye!
