I've tried to build gdb-5.2.1 with gcc-3.3, and it failed with many complaints about illegal code. It did succeed with a buggy pre-3.0 gcc; there were I think 254 unexpected errors in testsuite. Maybe that's acceptable? Anyway, I hope to be able soon to whittle down a test case for the current breakage in gcc -funroll-loops, now that I have a gdb which is able to step through code. -- Tim Prince
