Test all you like. The point of 2.0.x is to be totally reliable. If you want
to be less reliable then apply patches or use 2.1.x. I'm really amazed how
much it upsets some people.
Its easy to fix the *known* bugs its not easy to prove they are all fixed
and egcs built 2.0.x is no where near as heavily beta tested as 2.0.x
with gcc 2.7.2. Not using latest compilers with old trees is the norm
in most parts of the software industry.
And pre10 tells you where to find Florians patch page as well now. It also
fixes a bug reported when people set CFLAGS to include -V 2.7.2
