Ok but use the CVS distribution (what exactly is CVS?). I reported a
very minor bug in 3.1's stdio.h and they told me it was already fixed in
the CVS distribution, and "the sourceforge binaries will be  updated
sometime soon". Except of this, GCC 3.1 is *excellent*, it provides
useful warnings and stuff (and is probably 100% standard C++ compliant
or at least very close to it, since i have not found any C++ construct
so far that it doesn't support, (in contrast to the classic 2.95.x
distributions, 2.95.x were made in the 1997 era, and only bug fixes were
provided since the original version).
