I was primarily looking at the PRs that marked in the bugzilla database blocker or critical. As there were over 256 PRs open, and the idea is to get GCC-4.0.4 out of the door as soon as possible, I'm not trying to fix everything; just those that are critical or blockers. This is based on the fact that most distros have moved to GCC-4.1.x or higher. GCC-4.0.x has been since GCC-4.0.0 to contain major shortcomings. -- Gaby
