If you plan on building a distribution (hello Redhat and Mandrake), it's probably wise to wait for gcc 3.2, since binary compatibility will change. Binaries from gcc 3.2 are binary incompatible with anything older.

Yes.. esp. since 3.2 is only a bugfix release, that should only fix some C++ ABI bugs...

Red Hat: 3.2 is in Rawhide

Well, 3.2 hasn't been released yet, but that hasn't stopped Red Hat from including it in their Rawhide release.
gcc-3.2-0.1.i386.rpm
I assume it's a pre-release, and they intend to move to a full release before Rawhide becomes 8.0. That should be a relatively safe bet for them, considering not only their unique position in regards to gcc, but also that the GCC web page cites an expected release date for 3.2 as being 2002-07-2x.
