There are several workarounds in the GCC testsuite for things that could be better handled in DejaGnu if the next release of GCC could require a new DejaGnu version. That might be the right thing to do for GCC 4.1. Ben Elliston is the DejaGnu maintainer; he's expressed interest in the past in modifying DejaGnu to support GCC's needs. Janis
