That's why I put "stable" in quotes ... and referred to GCJ,
not GCC! And specified RedHat. The GCC maintainers
are finally, on the eve of 3.0, talking 2.95.3 ... but that's
not useful if you are interested in a Java compiler. I suspect
they've been focussed mostly on the traditional C core of the
GNU Compiler Collection, not the C++ or Java parts.

It was recently pointed out on the GCJ list that the RedHat
RPM is the best widely available version of GCJ. I know
that I was pleased not to have the headache of trying to
build it without the (now) integrated GCC/libgcj trees.
For that, I'm more than willing to use "kgcc" for kernels!
