I would more worried about the second issue if gcc 4.2 was
remotely close to release. However at the rate regressions are
being fixed (or not) in gcc 4.2 branch, I wouldn't hold my
breath as to which is released first (gcc 4.2 or Leopard).
Once Leopard is released, Darwin8 will become the 'previous'
release and the problem on Darwin PPC will go away.
