GCC 3.1 Prerelease

[Mark Mitchell <mark at codesourcery dot com>]

The GCC 3.1 release is starting to take shape.  Many people have worked
very hard.

I will make GCC 3.1 prerelease tarballs on Monday.

To that end, I would very much like to see if we can get some more of
the open bugs fixed before that point.  (I know that people are already
working on some of these at this point.)

Here is a list of the current high-priority bugs order by category.  I
suspect that some of these (Java bugs, especially) are not really
regressions.  If you know about any of these bugs and know that they are
not regressions, please let me know.

I have deliberately omitted Ada bugs; hopefully they will get fixed,
but they will not block the release in any event.  Similarly for
PR3386 which refers to undocumented target macros.
