In that case, it should not be marked "RESOLVED" for gcc-4.0 until: 1. either it is marked WONTFIX for gcc-4.0 2. or a new patch is written specifically for the gcc-4.0 branch. >From comment #2 I understand that option 2 is out of the question. Does it mean that "gcc-4.0 is dead, long live gcc-4.1" ? This is how I came to this "conclusion": There are new (not very rare) regressions in gcc-4.0 that will never be fixed. These regressions will be fixed only in gcc-4.1. As a result, it sounds like gcc-4.0 is much less maintained than any other (active) branch (or trunk) at the moment. This is very different from any of the previous releases of GCC (up to gcc-2.95) If this is true, then gcc-4.1 schedule should be changed to reflect that. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19699
