Even if this was not the official release of gcc-2.8.0, I suggest to let gpc-2.1 follow as soon as possible even if not all bugs are fixed. ... Of course, this plan implies that we must upgrade from gcc-2.7.2.x to gcc-2.8.0 ASAP. I think it is reasonable to continue support for gcc-2.7.2.x as long as this works without too much effort.
That's what they want us to think.. It's a trap!!! Just kidding =B) I read in either Dr Dobbs Journal or C/C++ User's Journal that a standard has finally been set for C++, so 2.8.0 *might* be in response to that (just a guess, don't take for a fact that it's the reason 2.8.0 is mentioned). As for whether or not GPC will work without modifications (if 2.8.0 is in response to the C++ standardization), as long as GPC doesn't use C++ it should be backwards compatible with 2.7.x
