Status of gcc 3.4.4-2

Status of gcc 3.4.4-2

[Charles Plager]

Hello,

	I am wondering if/when gcc 3.4.4-2 (or similar) will be promoted from 
'experimental' to 'current'.  There were issues building CERN's Root 
package with older versions of cygwin's gcc that now seem to be fixed 
(e.g., http://root.cern.ch/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3255).  It will be 
easier to convince our friends at CERN to start using the new compiler 
by default when it is the 'default' version.

	Cheers,
	  Charles Plager

  Ok, I guess 3.4.4-2 has had enough testing now to be worth promoting to a
main release, but I'll have to roll a fresh package to fix a couple of bugs
that showed up.  I'll try and get that done over the coming week.  Then
sometime in the next couple of weeks I'll have a go at 3.4.6 and see about
making a test release of that.

  If you can produce a small, self-contained testcase, in the form of a
pre-processed .i file that I could compile to reproduce the crash, I could
take a look at what's going wrong and see if I can pin it down to an
identifiable bug that was fixed between 3.4.4 and 3.4.6.

    cheers,

I'm actually hoping to skip 3.4.4-2 and get gcc 3.4.6 or 4.1.1.  When I 
compile my application with 3.4.4, I'm getting an "internal compiler 
error" that I don't get with 3.4.6 on Linux.

Any news about a newer version of gcc for cygwin?
