gcc newsletter #12

[Mathieu Lacage]

Hrm, this week's newsletter is rather short. It is mainly my fault since
I am in the middle of moving to a new appartement. Apologies to my
readers.

As usual, http://gccnews.chatta.us

For the text-freaks:
--------------------

gcc release

As usual a 4.0 status report[0] by Mark Mitchel.

gcc development

The most important piece of news is probably that Richard Kenner
promissed to fix his MUA: he ordered[1] its source code and will add
proper threading support to it. Thank you Richard!

gcc is a rather old codebase which has gone through many maintainers and
developers. Sometimes, it can be particularly glaring[2]. Roger Sayle
gives a detailed explanation[3] of that specific issue.
