I now have the situation where I can build gpc based on any number of gcc versions. I have, until now, used gcc-3.2.3 for Mingw binary releases, but I have now ascertained that the latest betas also work perfectly fine with gcc-3.3.3 and gcc-3.3.5. The question now is - is there any reason (other than convenience, etc.) for using one gcc version rather than another? Should I keep using gcc-3.2.3 or move to gcc-3.3.5? Choosing one rather than the other does not seem to make any difference to the robustness of the gpc compiler or the code generated by it.
IMO all those binaries should be available.
This would mean building several different versions of the same GPC compiler, based on different gcc backends. This would be a tedious exercise to say the least.
I am inhibited from upgrading my DJGPP installation gcc / gdb versions because there is no corresponding gpc version.
Wouldn't this always be the case until gpc is integrated into gcc? AFAICS, gpc is currently restricted to gcc-3.x backends and doesn't generall support gcc-3.4.x.
