GCC 4.0.2 Status Report

[Mark Mitchell]

Simply put, it's time for another GCC 4.0.x release.

There are 48 critical bugs open against 4.0.1 and some nearly 200 
regressions.  I've not done a complete triage, so I can't say how many 
of these might be incorrectly targeted.  Fewer than 20 are wrong-code, 
which is still more than I'd like, but not completely unacceptable.

I don't see anything that makes me think that the current 4.0.x branch 
would be markedly worse than 4.0.1, and, clearly, a lot of bugs have 
been fixed since 4.0.1.  Therefore, I intend to make a 4.0.2 RC1 this 
weekend, unless subsequent triaging, or a heads-up from someone, forces 
me to conclude that something about 4.0.2 would make it unacceptable to 
current 4.0.1 users.

There's no special freeze for the 4.0 branch at this point; we'll leave 
it in regression-fixes only mode.  The branch will freeze when I create 
the first release candidate.
