Current CVS of GCC (which will become 3.1 in April) is useable for C, C++,
G77, Ada and (almost) ObjC. There are problems with C++ and dllimport of
class definitions.  I don't have any idea how to fix that. C++ locale class
currently has minimal functionality. I have a hint of how to add more
functionality using w32api NLS functions, but not enough cycles.  Some work
needed for C support for C++ wide char and long long.  I have a plan to fix
that and that is in progress.  The STLPort/SGI iostream lib also works with
3.1 and IMHO, has much better support for native file IO (include mem
mapping of fstreams), and native locale interface, so may be preferred
option for mingw.  Ada is a whole new ballgame for me, but if you liked
algol and pascal, you'll be interested in ada.  ObjC: I need help. 

I plan to release binaries of above when GCC 3.1 is formally released in
April. I have not bothered to make 3.0.x releases because I could not keep
up with that branch and mainline.  The code base in 3.1 has changed
substantially from 3.0 branch
