It is not reliable at all, even in -O0, and its main purpose is to be able to build gcc 3.3, which seems ok. (it is not a good idea to build gcc with a different compiler for C and for Ada) After the big merge (about 6 monthes ago if I remember correctly), there have been almost no modification in 3.3 for Ada sources, except small updates, consequences of modifications which don't concern Ada, made by non-Ada maintainers If you are willing to build gcc 3.3 on Windows, you'll have to do that with a Mingw environment You will need some patches for gcc sources. I got them from Mingw maintainers. Windows (especially Mingw) is not a very well considered platform for gcc, and even less as far as Ada is concerned Some elementary patches for Mingw have never been commited in official gcc sources after more than a year, and specific source patches are distributed with Mingw Things could change if there were enough people asking for that, reporting bugs, and helping Mingw maintainers to have their patches more easily accepted and commited "chris.danx" a �crit dans le message de news: g2Ej9.70$8d4.240@news13-win.server.ntlworld.com... > Does no one know?
