I did upgrade all reports mentioned in [2] to severity `important'. My current plan is to make gcc-4.3/g++-4.3 the default compiler once the gcc-4_3-release branch is created, for all architectures where we had sucessful rebuilds with GCC-4.3 as the default compiler. These bug reports will be raised to severity `serious' at this time. Matthias -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
