The function vfprintf in version 1.34.1 gcc.c incorrectly declares
the return type to be void.  According the the ANSI standard it should be
int.  This caused my compile to blow off because my varargs.h has it
declared to return an int.

On another topic, will future releases of g++ support the standard gnu linker ?
It would be nice to integrate the gcc and g++ linker support especially 
since the new error reporting capability of gnu ld is very useful and several
new options have been added.

I am stil having problems with filename length limitations.  When the
cplus-parse* files get expanded to cplus-parse.tab.c, it is 3 chars
too long.  I have a script which fixes up all the files to use shorter
names if anyone is interested.

Thanks for all the good work on g++!
