I can understand gcc_3_1_1,_release, names, but what if it says branch, or ssa something, something, or merge, something something? I see lots of patch information on the patch lists, but I assumed that someone checked the patch into CVS at sometime. If thats a valid assumption, I'd like to know how to determine into which tag level that a particular patch went. That said, I tested one of the patches, by hand, and it didn't fix my problem, so I guess I'm barking up a wrong tree. As far as 3.3.1 goes, I'm sure that's just great and dandy. I'd even like to use it, except that my hands are tied for support reasons. Internally, if I don't build our package with gcc 3.1 and the XML package that it uses fails, we can't expect to get help from the people (also internal) who built the XML package.

After all, GCC 3.1.1 is "stick a fork in it it's done", fully cooked, out the door, shipping party, everyone gets drunk, regret their silly antics from the night before, best forgotten, ahem, what about them NY Yankees? > > HTH, > --Eljay > > PS: What's wrong with GCC 3.3.1? > > >
