* Important GCC v3.4.0 Caveat
* Important GCC v3.4.[012] Caveat
GCC v3.4.0 breaks C++ ABI compatibility and because of that, libunwind
cannot easily be used as the unwinder for GCC v3.4.0. The GCC
developers are aware of the problem [1] and the expectation is that
the problem will be fixed with GCC v3.4.1. In the meantime, it may be
best to avoid using GCC v3.4.0.

applications to trigger them.
Note: If you get lots of errors in Gia64-test-nat and Lia64-test-nat, it's
almost certainly a sign of an old assembler. The GNU assembler used
to encode previous-stack-pointer-relative offsets incorrectly.
This bug was fixed on 21-Sep-2004 so any later assembler will be
fine.
