Unfortunately, there are some packages which won't work, to name at least two
big ones: Mico and Kde. There is a regression between 2.95.x and 3.0.x (and
it won't be fixed in 3.0.2 AFAIK) and those two projects don't compile
correctly with the 3.0.x branch (see PR3909 )
I think there was a discussion on gcc ml to work on this for the 3.0.3
release.

C.
