I do know that Fedora & Fedora Legacy only do security patches (for the most part) on packages released by the OS release. I'm just trying to find a way to improve things. FC1 shipped with gcc-3.3.2-1 and there hasn't been any updates to this or even bug fixes. GCC has finally released 3.3.6 back in May 3 2005 and stopped development on the branch. Changes to version 3.3.6 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=RESOLVED&resolution=FIXED&target_milestone=3.3.6 Changes to version 3.3.5 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=RESOLVED&resolution=FIXED&target_milestone=3.3.5 Changes to version 3.3.4 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=RESOLVED&resolution=FIXED&target_milestone=3.3.4 Changes to version 3.3.3 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=RESOLVED&resolution=FIXED&target_milestone=3.3.3 I've managed to build a working version of 3.3.6 for FC1 and have been using it for several months with no problems.
