GCC 4.1 Released
Luineancaion writes "Looks like GCC 4.1 has been released. From what I know this includes the GNU Classpath merge and means that Azureus can now be used in a 100% Free-Software system. Thanks to everyone that worked on it, and keep up the good work!"
They've dropped support for tons of architectures that people still use. Many platforms are still stuck with locally-patched, barely functional gcc2 installations because they have nothing else available.
And it doesn't actually produce stable AND well-optimized code. Its more a one or the other kinda deal. There's lots of hard to track down bugs involving GCC optimizations.
