Starting from the home page: "releases", "mirror sites", pick a mirror. Or "GCC 4.0.1 has been released.", where it tells you it is available from the mirror sites, then pick a mirror. Or just pick "mirrors" from the menu on the home page. > The list of releases on the releases page ends at 3.4.4. Every other > link Ive chased down > stops at 3.4.4. You're looking at the timeline of releases. Look above that at the section with the heading "Download" and read what it says. It tells you you can get the source from a mirror and that there are binaries available for some platforms. > 4.0 can eventually be found, sans any documentation about what specific > files one must download, > if one digs several links deep, from various sites around the world, but > the gcc maintainers themselves > have not linked it to the main web page. > > This is sad and absurd.

The 4.0.x releases are in the same place as all other releases. If you don't want to build GCC from source and there isn't a precompiled binary then you still might be able to get a binary version (e.g. if you're using Linux you might be able to get an .rpm or .deb file for your distribution) jon
