Yes, but it links against a different libc version. This *can* make a difference, especially in tasking. The bootstrapping process can introduce additional errors, too. In addition, there were known bugs in the pthreads-based tasking support which prevents successful conpletation of all ACATS tests. AFAIK, these problems remain in 3.14p, and only the run-time library based FSU Threads was ever validated. >> The latest FSF release (and the most stable one, I believe, both GCC >> 3.1 and 3.1.1 are very similar to it) is GCC 3.2. > > The most stable one? There are many annoying bugs IIRC. There aren't any other FSF releases (besides 3.1 and 3.1.1), so it is the most stable one. ;-)
