[Mingw-users] Another bug in gcc 2.95.3-6.

Hello,

I found another problem with gcc 2.95.3-6.

gcc 2.95.2 can compile the extremely large and complex
Larry Wall Perl interpreter (which is written in "C").
You download the "C" source code and you build it using
gcc.

But, with our "new" gcc 2.95.3-6 compiler, it doesn't compile.
I spent alot of time to figure out why.
Someone (making a patch to the gcc after version 2.95.2,
decided to change the c:\gcc\include\winbase.h and other
header files.  

In c:\gcc\include\winbase.h, someone modified the
structure to have a name
_ANONYMOUS_UNION and _ANONYMOUS_STRUCT preceding
which contains wProcessorArchitecture.
Also other similar changes were made.

Now, Perl (which is one of the most used language used to process
data from web pages on the internet) can no longer be compiled
with the gcc 2.95.3 compiler.
Every other Microsoft, Borland, Watcom, Sun, and gcc on Sun
can compile the "C" source code of the "Perl Interpreter".
The only people who cannot are the people who use gcc 2.95.3-6.

As a result, I have been forced to go back to using the
gcc 2.95.2 compiler.

If someone would be willing to fix the 2.95.3-6 compiler,
it would be great.  I hope the new gcc version 3 compiler will not
inherit have these bad header files from 2.95.3-6 compiler.

I have a question:

If I go back to using the gcc 2.95.2 compiler,
is there any serious bugs I should be aware of?

I'm sure the 2.95.3-6 compiler contains bug fixes,
but I'm not sure where to look to find a history of the
bug fixes.

Thanks in advance for your Email reply.
