The spec is based on 3.3. Do you know of problems where they don't match?
Most of the runtime implementations are using 3.3.4 in their current
shipping releases.
Which does not match the ABI. The 3.3.5 to be branch has accepted some
patches that mean a final 3.3.5 might be ABI compatible, although
whether vendors will upgrade from 3.3.4 and break existing 3.3.4
applications by doing so mid release remains to be seen - although it
can be answered here.
Is http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-07/msg02440.html the ABI change
in question? What kind of 3.3.4 vs. 3.3.5 incompatibilities will that cause?
This whole issue is sounding a bit like the gcc-2.96 fiasco.
