One thing that motivates me to go to 3.x is better optimizations. As far as I can tell, 3.x generates much better code for ARM and PPC targets (at least) than 2.95.x. (Don't ask me to quantify, I haven't studied it *that* close!)Is it the use of C++, or a problematic target, that tips the balance in favour of updating?
I've been very happily using gcc2.95.3 for half a year now, handling C and assembler for an embedded ppc target, and have the following note to myself, gleaned from some forgotten source:
Fetch a pre-3.0 gcc. (gcc-3.x isn't cross-compile-friendly at the moment.)
