This fixes all significant known toolchain problems. I don't expect to be adding more patches to the toolchain unless another serious toolchain bug is found. There is one more significant ABI change since the last release. There was a corresponding glibc change, so this requires an up-to-date glibc (Nov 16 or later). If you already have glibc 2.2, you need to recompile from scratch. If you are trying to use this toolchain with glibc 2.1.3, then you need a new copy of the README.glibc213 file, since this file now needs to revert 3 ABI changes instead of 2. Since there are no public OS distributions using glibc 2.2 yet, the glibc and toolchain maintainers decided it was better to fix ABI bugs now than later. I expect that the next toolchain release will be something based off of the FSF gcc 3.0 tree sometime early next year. This depends on when gcc 3.0 will be available, and that is anybody's guess, but the general idea here is to get all of us migrated to an official FSF release instead of the development releases that we have been using.
