I know what you're trying to say here, but there's just not enough
volunteers. Though it's also considered rock solid, so you don't need
tons of huge overhauls, IMO. Well, you could argue for some, but
that's pretty fantastical (and probably off-topic), so I won't go into
that here. Good ideas are easy, but actually implementing them is
hard.

Anyways, GCC 4.9.0 was released last week, and Andris uploaded his
latest builds (2.04 only) a couple days ago. (I just announced this as
news for us.) I haven't really tested it yet. (I probably need yet
another clean DJGPP install.) I'm somewhat skeptical how well some of
it will work "out of the box" without some massaging. We don't have a
lot of testers, esp. for some of the lesser languages (outside of
C/C++, i.e. Ada or Fortran or ObjC). If any developers here tests
this, feel free to report back your results (either here or on the
newsgroup). It should work okay, but things aren't always that simple.
