Since tarballs have already hit gcc.gnu.org, we cannot make another
release that differs in any way that is also named 4.3.0. It would
have to have a different number. People have already spotted and
picked up the gcc.gnu.org tarball.
We've gone to four-part numbers before in situations like this
(2.7.2.1). So it seems that either 4.3.0 stands, or the cld patch
(if it is decided that it is urgently needed) would be 4.3.0.1.
I suggest just letting 4.3.0 out into the world (finish the release
process), and mention the caveat about the cld issue in the announcement.
We would then have time to decide whether to do a quick 4.3.0.1, or not.
