I very strongly second what stevenb said:



  GCC 3.2 claims many things, but any GCC that has the old C++ parser

  has known non-conformances. IMHO we should only support GCC versions

  with the "new" C++ parser, i.e. GCC 3.4 and up.



Expecting people to bootstap with GCC 3.2 to check it doesn't barf on some

perfectly valid piece of C++ is unreasonable.  If people didn't bootstrap with

3.2 then incompatibilities would creep in and not be found, so claiming that

using 3.2 is possible would be a lie.  Just say no.
