 And the works for 2.95.4 is begun, no idea why. As gcc 3.0.0 said to arrive
in the first part of this year. Why we need an other 2.95.x? Wrong list I know.

 As far as I remember there were some problems with egcs, that´s why it is
abadonned (or something like that). Sure, 2.95.2 shows up with error on some
patches, and it has several problems with inside macro(?) creation. I never had
problems with 2.95.3 though. If you want, I can try out the patch with
2.95.4-cvs, but only with kernel 2.4.2, the deadlocks in 2.4.3 are not fixed
yet.

 If you trust in me, then use 2.95.3, but not 2.95.2.

Cheers!
