Poglednah na site-a na gcc. Tozi 2.96 ne e oficialen release.
Vizh http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc-2.96.html :
October 6th, 2000
It has come to our attention that some GNU/Linux distributions are currently
shipping with ``GCC 2.96''.
We would like to point out that GCC 2.96 is not a formal GCC release nor will
there ever be such a release. Rather, GCC 2.96 has been the code- name for our
development branch that will eventually become GCC 3.0.
Current snapshots of GCC, and any version labeled 2.96, produce object files
that are not compatible with those produced by either GCC 2.95.2 or the
forthcoming GCC 3.0. Therefore, programs built with these snapshots will not
be compatible with any official GCC release. Actually, C and Fortran code will
probably be compatible, but code in other languages, most notably C++ due to
incompatibilities in symbol encoding (``mangling''), the standard library and
the application binary interface (ABI), is likely to fail in some way. Static
linking against C++ libraries may make a binary more portable, at the cost of
increasing file size and memory use.
To avoid any confusion, we have bumped the version of our current development
branch to GCC 2.97.
Please note that both GCC 2.96 and 2.97 are development versions; we do not
recommend using them for production purposes. Binaries built using any version
of GCC 2.96 or 2.97 will not be portable to systems based on one of our regular
releases.
If you encounter a bug in a compiler labeled 2.96, we suggest you contact whoever
supplied the compiler as we can not support 2.96 versions that were not issued by
the GCC team.
