Re: First 2.95.3 test release available
Since the gnats web interface isn't accepting my report, I'll make it here.
libU77 should be made consistent with <windows.h> usage as it is in the
gcc-2.97 snapshots. No one is going to install a 2 year old version of
cygwin or whatever. I don't know why the testsuite won't run on cygwin
(except for libio/libstdc++), but this version of the compiler is a good
one. Best g77 performance ever on Livermore Fortran Kernels. None of the
usual ICE's. Nice work!
