No, since there have been/are issues with these compilers as well.<BR>
Use the 2.95.x series for reliability (not <A HREF="users_against_developers.html#gcc">2.96</A>).
Use the latest gcc 3.0.x (starting at 3.0.2) if you want to use a 3.0.x version.
Use the latest gcc 3.x (starting at 3.0.4) if you want to use a 3.x version.
