  Hi.  Given the number of obvious bugs in the latest versions
of gcc, what is the most recent version of gcc that would be
considered fairly reliable in terms of just the C compiler?
I just want a C compiler that people can play with, I'm not
even going to build g++ yet.

  And if I try to build g++, the same question applies.
I can live without templates so should I build gcc-2.3.3?
gcc-2.4.5?  I'm more interested in a reliable subset of C++,
rather than a complete implementation that's still a bit
shaky.
