Perhaps it will be reasonable to use gcc-2.95.3 to build official binaries 
of 2.04 release when such will released. 

As far as I have tested current CVS version built with gcc-3.0 
development version works without serious problems however there
are some more (as I have mentioned) problems with building it. 

I think both things (adding new features and makeing it compatible
with gcc-3.0) can be done simultanously. Of course it should be done 
carefully to avoid breaking things
