Hello, I'm a bit disoriented by versions policy in Debian now. The 'stable' has old enough gcc compiler: 3.3.5-3 (two years old, September 30, 2004) But the 'testing' and 'unstable' distributions both has even not last, but 'future' release of gcc-4.1: package version '4.1.1-13' really contain some svn snapshot, not gcc 4.1.1. Well, I see, that I should use package 'gcc' in 'testing' distribution instead, but 'aptitude dist-upgrade' prefer gcc-4.1, so not my fault indeed. I see a big black hole between 2 years old 'stable' distribution and 'testing', that similar to 'unstable', but both more like 'experimental'. At least in gcc-related packages. Investigation of compiler/package versions relation was inspired by error in unit test in STLport: =================== .... ListTest::allocator_with_state ../../../test/unit/list_test.cpp(392) : CPPUNIT_ASSERT(lint1.size() == 20); ListTest::swap .... =================== This is really bug in c++ -O2. =================== $ dpkg -l gcc-4.1 Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-============================-============================-================== ii gcc-4.1 4.1.1-13 The GNU C compiler $ c++ -v Using built-in specs.

I am not a compiler expert but AFAIK it is not possible to support 12 architectures with released compiler versions only. That is why (is it?) Debian's gcc contains patches from future versions.
