I don't understand yet how the next steps for 4.2 will look like; will there be further snapshots (ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/snapshots/) of the 4.2 branch, or will the next snapshots be only for 4.3? We would like to re-test our ARM, PowerPC and MIPS trees with the latest compilers against well known revisions, in order to have a chance to submit further bugs and/or patches before the release - or shall we better test against svn? Btw, the timeline on http://gcc.gnu.org/develop.html doesn't list the 4.2 branch yet. Robert -- Dipl.-Ing.

What about PR28516, would it be acceptable for 4.1.2? Robert -- Dipl.-Ing.

It looks like http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28675 is fixed in 4.2, because in our autobuild runs we don't see the ICE any more. However, the bugzilla entry doesn't mention a fix for the problem. Paul, have you done something in 4.2 which might be backported to 4.1? Robert -- Dipl.-Ing.

And there is OSELAS.Toolchain: http://www.pengutronix.de/oselas/toolchain/download/ Mature for the supported compilers, patches are welcome for anything else :-) Robert -- Dipl.-Ing.
