A few serious bugs were found after the 2.5.5 release, so GCC 2.5.6 is
being released now.

The diffs between it and version 2.5.5 are on prep in
gcc-2.5.5-2.5.6.diff.gz which is only 8047 bytes.  The full release,
gcc-2.5.6.tar.gz is 5996970 bytes.

The C++ compiler in 2.5.6 includes:

 * fixes for some common crashes
 * correct handling of nested types that are referenced as `foo::bar'
 * spurious warnings about friends being declared static and never
   defined should no longer appear
 * enums that are local to a method in a class, or a class that's
   local to a function, are now handled correctly.  For example:
       class foo { void bar () { enum { x, y } E; x; } };
       void bar () { class foo { enum { x, y } E; E baz; }; }


[ All versions of gcc since 2.0 also contain compilers for C++ and Objective-C.

  Most GNU software is packed using the new `gzip' compression program.
  Source code is available on most sites distributing GNU software.

  For information on how to order GNU software on tape, floppy, or cd-rom,
  check the file etc/ORDERS in the GNU Emacs distribution or in GNUinfo/ORDERS
  on prep, or e-mail a request to: gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu

  By ordering tapes from the FSF you help us continue to develop more free
  software.  Media revenues are our primary source of support.  Donations to
  FSF are deductible on US tax returns.

  The above software will soon be at these ftp sites as well.
