You are right, the compiler versions in Cygwin and MinGW/MSYS are 3.x. The 
code produced by the MSVC toolkit is okay, too. OpenSUSE 10.2 usually uses 
the GCC 4.x, but there is a GCC 3.3.5 in the source package of QEMU. I'll try 
to build this package and then I intend to use it for building the Linux 
release binary.

I'll try to make the release on Sunday, unless there are important bugs to 
fix.

See the attached patch. It makes FLD1 work with this buggy GCC 4.x.
