HI
I am also very concerned about the delay in the release of GCC-4.1 (no release
candidate yet), expecting FC5-final to include a compiler that has a wide
level of exposure to testing. Having GCC-4.1-cvs-xxx would make users
uncomfortable, and without bringing back the old RedHat ghost of gcc-2.96, I
remind you that FC4 was released with a compiler blacklisted by the KDE
project, which incidentally was one of the reasons for me and my institution
to skip FC4 altogether and stay with FC3 until FC5 is released.
The version of GCC shipped with FC4 was not a stable release of GCC. End
users wouldnt have to worry about the KDE blacklisting since it was
already patched, build against GCC 4 and provided as part of FC4. A
prior version of GCC was also provided for compatibility reasons for
developers who needed to compile code not compatible with the system
compiler.
