Test results: <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2004-09/msg00359.html>

Ada does not build due to bugs in path handling.

GCJ builds, but libgcj does not, due to bugs in CLASSPATH support.

The ABI has changed for multithreaded programs since 3.4.1.  Exception
handling, in particular, will be affected.

There are two new testsuite regressions since 3.4.1, and two new XPASSes:
+XPASS: g++.dg/rtti/tinfo1.C scan-assembler _ZTIP9CTemplateIhE:
+XPASS: g++.dg/rtti/tinfo1.C scan-assembler-not .globl[
\\t]+_ZTIP9CTemplateIhE
+FAIL: gcc.c-torture/execute/va-arg-25.c execution,  -Os
+FAIL: 22_locale/num_put/put/char/14220.cc execution test

Some unofficial patches are availible that will improve GCC's
functionality on Windows.  See the following websites for these patches
and precompiled binaries.
