That's true, gcc 3.x is far better (albeit slower) than the 2.95 series.

Look Brett, this argument is really getting old by now. Port TenDra or
roll your own BSDL'd compiler. Until then, we'll have to live with gcc.
I'm not a fun of GNU, the GPL and/or the FSF, but give credit where it's
due, gcc is a great tool.
Somehow you MUA dropped your patches ;-)
