Mark has only the perspective of use on Linux, where we
indeed have not distributed any wavefronts or beta versions
built with GCC 3.

However, there are other targets on which we have started
to give customers beta versions of GCC 3 based technology.
These include the Ultrasparc (64-bit) VxWorks version
(which is not supported in GCC 2), and the HPUX and VMS
versions, where we need GCC 3 for the new efficient
exception handling.

The GCC 3 version of GNAT is getting closer, but it's still
not quite there yet, which is why we decided to release a
stable 3.15 based on GCC 2.8 technology.
