GCC 4.1.1 Status Report (2006-05-15)

[Mark Mitchell <mark at codesourcery dot com>]

There are now 98 serious regressions open against GCC 4.1, including 9
P1s.  However, none of these are -- as far as I can tell -- regressions
from 4.1.0; they are all regressions from previous releases.  Given that
we've fixed 114 bugs since 4.1.0, I think it's time to create a 4.1.1
release.

Therefore, effective midnight tonight (i.e., 12:00AM May 17th in
California), the 4.1 branch will be frozen.  (I previously announced May
15th as a target release date.)  After that point, all changes,
including previously approved patches, need my explicit approval.  I'll
create 4.1.1 RC1 tomorrow.

For reference, here are the open P1s.  Some of these do seem quite
serious, and it would be nice to get fixes, if at all possible.
