No problem
It's my fault that I'm reporting it too late :-(
Anyway, I'm very glad that gcc-2.95 is being released, with or without new
config.*
I'm using gcc-2.95 as my default compiler, and it shows itself as the most
stable compiler. It compiles Wine (Windows emulator), Kaffe, and GRUB
without problems - all of them are using inline asm with arguments. There
have been minor problems with egcs-1.1.2 and pgcc-1.1.3 (and most other
gcc versions and derivatives) on those projects - but not with gcc-2.95
gcc-2.95 also compiles very large projects, such as Lesstif, DDD (3.2M
of packed C++ !) and GNOME without any flaw.
I have never (yet) seen gcc-2.95 crashing or generating incorrect code.
My best thanks and congratulations to the GCC team !
