Sorry for the late replay. The devirtualization is on hold. Currently GCC is lacking the necessary infrastructure needed by C++ interprocedural optimizations, like devirtualization. The appropriate infrastructure will be provided by LTO. I intend to incorporate the devirtualization in the LTO framework. Mircea infrastructure.
