Yes, I had the pleasure to read it when published by the gcc-bug list.
Please, note that some bugs that can be attribuited by that snapshot are
bug even in the gcc-2.95.2 version of the gcc.
I can say that because I have recompiled some code posted to the
gcc-lists with different version of gcc, and the problems remained the
same.
That said, I have to say that, of the new release of the 3 most
important distributiors (Debian, RedHat and Mandrake - I have
intentionally exluded Slackware from that list), only Debian have the
standard version of the gcc.
That means that you will probabily build some great software for you
RedHat Linux System, but it was compatible to, and only to, your RedHat
Linux.
Or you can build statically linked your software.
Fortune wants that these problems are above all for the C++ code, and
Linux is based on C, so many important applications are safe.
I think RedHat should release a fix providing a gcc-2.95 compatibility
patch for the compiler.
Or we all have to install the 2.95 release (here including the C++
standard library).
