The only noted difference between 3.3 and 3.4 seems to be the AIX target which has been bumped up for 3.4 (presumably because a new version of AIX appeared) I wonder why apple (i.e. OSX/darwin) is not a primary platform for GCC (given that GCC is the primary compiler for that plaform). I guess it is because apple keeps a local branch of GCC with all sorts of apple fixes in them. Personally, I would love to see the win32 GCC (mingw) target be given a higher priority (although that would rely on the mingw team being more perpared to keep things going) as this target is (AFAIK) the best currently available option as far as a free as in speech compiler for the windows platform goes.
