Hmmm... I am generally all about the bleeding edge (yes, I run Debian 'sid'
distro on my desktop and LOVE IT!) but when it comes to GCC > 2.95, I don't
recall hearing any "GOOD" things. I've heard things like "makes huge
binaries" and "makes binaries incompatible with other platforms" of course
this was prolly all talk about GCC > 2.95 for Linux.

Any thoughts?
