At this point, I would rather make gcc 3.0 the goal for 2.04.  We're
not near a release, so we have time to fix all the things that need
fixing.  If we don't fix them now, we'll just have to fix them later,
and users trying to build 2.04 in a year or so (when gcc 2.x is fully
deprecated) will have problems.

When it's our turn to do a release, we should try to support as many
compilers as is practical, with the latest release given the highest
priority.
