(thats 3.2 you mean ... right? or is it 3.2.1 hmph cant remember already)

just an oppinion here...
'since cygwin gcc has its own branch and was currently being worked on based 
on an unlreased 3.1.1' the release date of 3.2 is probably not going to be 
the limiting factor here right?  Next week 3.1.1 will go out, then 3.1 
branch will be relabeled 3.2 branch, 3.2 will be relabeled 3.3(not in that 
order).  I am assuming almost immediately after that, the abi fixes will be 
back ported... so probably 2 weeks, then some leeway for the abi backports 
to cause a dozen bugs that need fixing...

And, thats probably about how long cygwin branch gcc needs testing at the 
current rate anyway. (not to knock the wonderful efforts of cgf - just 
keeping a simple gcc head and gnome2 head setup going on osf/1 keeps me at 
my limits)

But to answer the other question, upper limit on 3.2 I guess looks to be 
september, since all the bsd types were complaining that it needed to be 
done by then. (well not All the bsd types ... but at least 1 of free/open 
...)  Think debian wanted september as well, but quite possibly i have the 
wrong distribution.  (debian on the brain...)

Gareth, hates literature reviews...
