I meant it's a regression wrt g77.

OK. Seeing you had released 4.2.1 candidates, I thought you wanted to
make the 4.2 branch the next mingw compiler. If you focus on 4.3, it's
all good for gfortran, which is still evolving fast and thus lots
better in every newer release! ;-)

If, among the bugs reports you get for your 4.2.1 release, there are
gfortran-related bugs, please let me know. I'm really interested in
getting gfortran as good on mingw as it is elsewhere.
