Rex,

Thanks, but what you just quoted me says that it is possible if agreed
upon by a consensus.
I do know that Fedora & Fedora Legacy only do security patches (for
the most part) on packages released by the OS release.  I'm just
trying to find a way to improve things.  FC1 shipped with gcc-3.3.2-1
and there hasn't been any updates to this or even bug fixes.  GCC has
finally released 3.3.6 back in May 3 2005 and stopped development on
the branch.

Changes to version 3.3.6
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=RESOLVED&resolution=FIXED&target_milestone=3.3.6
Changes to version 3.3.5
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=RESOLVED&resolution=FIXED&target_milestone=3.3.5
Changes to version 3.3.4
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=RESOLVED&resolution=FIXED&target_milestone=3.3.4
Changes to version 3.3.3
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=RESOLVED&resolution=FIXED&target_milestone=3.3.3

I've managed to build a working version of 3.3.6 for FC1 and have been
using it for several months with no problems.

Thanks,
James
