Thanks for Brian and Earnie Boyd's quick reply! And sorry for mistakenly

According to your replies, it seems that to use a user-compiled GCC from source
is in an unconfirmed condition, since many win32 platform specific issues are
not addressed in the GCC mainline. So it will be more guarantee to use precompiled
package provided by MinGW team, or I should be of any help to the MinGW team
to test the current situation of MinGW GCC compiled GCC 4.1. After all, the
more modern optimization ability provided by GCC 4.1 is still quite charming,
however people maybe more concern about stability of a compiler.

On the other hand, I hope MinGW provided specific functionalities on win32-platform
can be merged into GCC mainline one day, if its license allowed to do so :)
