I've heard the same thing, but not done anything specific to
test it for MPE. I know that there is a compatibility issue
between the C++ ABI on 2.95x and 3.x. As long as everything
is recompiled, it shouldn't be an issue. This was done to
be able to grow into some of the later features of the
language.

The optimized object code is faster than 2.9x. Mike Yawn
reran his language performance suite against this version
of gcc and found that it now (it optimized mode) produced
the fastest code for MPE.

It is the compiler I'm using for all my work and is the
default compiler on invent3k.
