Fwd: GCC 4.2.0 Status Report (2007-03-04)

[Brooks Moses]

The following was posted a couple of hours ago in the gcc-devel and 
gcc-patches lists.

Do we have any outstanding regressions in the Fortran area?  What about 
patches that need backporting?  (I know I've got at least one, which 
Steve poked me about last week; I'll try to get that in tonight or 
tomorrow.)
