I know that
   #===== NOTE =====
   #  egcs-2.91.66 is the recommended compiler version for building XFS.
   #  Most of the XFS developers are using that particular version for
and I also know that a lot of people compile XFS with other versions of
the compiler. I do compile it with gcc-2.95.x for almost a year now.

Would it be a good idea to have a poll to get a feel of what the users
out here compile XFS with, and try to steer the main developers/testers
onto that direction? Or decide that gcc-3.1 is the "wave" of the future
and try to make it usable?

I know your first reaction will be "these are the resources we have"
and "contribute something before asking for something" but I am using 
XFS since last summer and reported the occasional glitches I encountered 
(not many, THANK YOU!). Also my load it fairly light - browsing, mail...
so it is not representative enough.
