gcc 3.2.3 nearly-RC2 builds

We're testing 1.4 nightly Linux builds (very close to RC2) compiled with a 3.2.3 version of GCC and looking for people to help us bang on these builds and see if everything's working as it's supposed to. These new Linux builds can be found at http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest-1.4-gcc323/

If you find something that's not working in these builds that is working in the other 1.4 branch nightly builds http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest-1.4/ (or RC1) please let us know.

Thanks.

--Asa

June 12's gcc323 build does not work
with Java, without further configuration,

on RH9. Build 2003060907 does work.
For example,
http://weather.noaa.gov/radar/latest/DS.p19r0/si.kdix.shtml

I didn't know whether I should file a bug report about this, since it "experimental".

jonathan, make sure you use JRE 1.4.2 beta with the libjavaoji.so compiled with GCC3.2

The 20030611 gcc-3.2 build works great on my Gentoo GNU/Linux with Blackdown Java. Is gcc-3.2 going to be the default compiler for Linux? It would be cool for the users of gcc-3.2 based distributions (such as Gentoo, Red Hat 9, Mandrake 9, etc).

How about a linux/ppc build?
