At the risk of sound snippy, we've been over this several times and have
elected, for pragmatic reasons, to do our best to maintain binary
compatibility for the first release -- which rules out GCC3.x for the
time being. This does *not*, however, rule out moving to it at a later
date -- or even providing a parallel set of libraries which have been
built with GCC3.x (just a "for instance"; no flames, please). Folks
keep insisting on thinking we've maneuvered ourselves into a dead-end by
striving for binary compatability at this time, and that just isn't the
case! I respect Nathan's perspective (as well as his ability), but
aside from whether or not we successfully achieve binary compatibility,
this is a total non-issue.
