I have built the gcc-2.5.4 distribution.  I was mainly interested
in g++ since I have no c++ compiler on my machine.  Now, only a 
week after I built 2.5.4, there is a new version 2.5.5.  which
apparently fixes numerous bug within g++.  My question is what
version works the best.  Normally, you would think that later
versions are better than the previous.  However, following along
in the gnu.gcc/g++.bug newsgroups, I have found that some people
have found bugs in the newer versions which did not exist in the
previous versions.  So, what version seems to be the best overall.
os: Ultrix 4.3
machine: DEC 5000

Thanks,
Scott Guyer
