6 The GCC Page (http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.2/changes.html) says it is MultiVendor V3
7 compatible - does that mean that it's compatible (again) with 2.95? There
8 aren't any other changes listed on the page, so does that also mean that no
9 changes in code are required from 3.1 to 3.2 to compile? Will this just mean
10 going from 2.95 to 3.2 will be a matter of fixing the ISO C/C++ standards, just
11 as for going from 2.95 to 3.0?
