I'm interested in some opinions on which version of gcc
is best.  I'm primarily interested in reliability (as I
will be supporting the compiler for several engineers),
but please accept my invitation to convince me that there
are other reasons that you believe a particular version
of gcc is "best".

My current benchmark is 2.2.2.  If you think another
version (like the latest 2.5.7) is better, let me know.
I'm primarily interested in cross-compiling.  No particular
processor (read various).

Thank you,

Charlie

P.S.

I'm also interested in gdb version opinions.
