Actually, they're merging in upstream GCC quite frequently, or at least 
were, and GCC 3.1 is set to go final RSN (tomorrow according to 
http://gcc.gnu.org/develop.html, but apparently they're not going to 
make that and are slipping the release date by about 2 weeks). OTOH, it 
will continue moving along at quite a rapid pace, and I expect that it 
won't be usable until about 3.1.1 or later (a few months down the line, 
in other words). Since Apple seems to be set on shipping gcc3.1 in the 
next major OS release, it'll be interesting to see the quality of the 
version that we receive.
