The impression I get is that when people use it, they usually end up 
complaining to the list about something not working, and then it is
not immediately obvious that broken optimization routines are the problem.  On 
the basis of a dialogue I read about 6 months ago on this list,
I decided to avoid it like the plague until the current version of gcc 
stabilizes somewhat.  Does that make sense, or am I being overly cautious?
