Re: KDE 3.1.3 status

This is actually slightly disappointing to me given that 3.1.2 seemed 
very close to ready to go into testing.  (I'm sure you won't lose any of 
the fixes applied to it, of course, but a new upstream version 
usually means new bugs found.)

Are you refering to
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11641
perhaps?  This appears to be ia64-specific.  It works on mainline (3.4).
Hopefully someone will regression-hunt it soon.

Please make sure to report all GCC bugs which cause KDE builds to fail.  
But you knew that.  :-)

Well, I'll make no great claims for 3.3, except that it's a lot less 
buggy than 3.0.  :-/

3.4 really should be a great improvement.  The new C++ parser helps a 
lot with C++ stuff, and quite a lot of us have made large infrastructure 
improvements and code cleanups.  Apart from bugs fixed by that 
process, it's now a lot easier to track down many types of 
bugs in 3.4 (there's a lot less cruft to look through).  Of course, this 
probably discourages people from looking for bugs in 3.3.
