No problem on any of them. I have no interest in Java or ObjeciveC, so don't build them; apparently no one is interested in Chill anymore. I haven't tested g++, but gcc built a Motif and a Gtk project I had handy, and g77 built some ancient Fortran geodetic conversion code that was also handy. I didn't time them, but if the build on the 1 ghz ME box seemed almost as slow as the 200 mhz Linux box. So, for the OP, if you want 3.0 for the addtional C++ or C99 goodies, and aren't interested in the DOS specific parts of djgpp, cygwin may be the way to go.
