Yes, at least one of them. BUT, the number of changes between the 2.8.0 and 2.8.1 is SO extensive (it are not all bug fixes) that it is really difficult to tell whether any serious problems exist with 2.8.0., more in particular with our djgpp port. GCC only had a few configuration dependent changes, but the GPP languages has been extended in 2.8.0 and a few bug fixes concern these extensions. I don't know the importance of them. My guess is that 2.8.0 is sufficiently stable and safe to use on DJGPP. BTW, if you cannot live with "undefined external reference, first use this function", then 2.8.1 would be something for you! -- \ Vik /-_-_-_-_-_-_/ \___/ Heyndrickx / \ /-_-_-_-_-_-_/
