We will keep gcc-2.95.x based version available for a long time (as long as gcc-2 based profile, which is not going to go into oblivion any foreseeble time).
But maybe it will WRT GPC. If all goes well, I plan to drop gcc-2 support shortly after the release of GPC 2.2 (probably sometime next year). Hope that won't be a problem for you. For GPC development, it will make life a bit easier, not having to deal with the backend differences, once the new version works (at least as well as 2.x) on all platforms.
Thanks for that suggestion! (and thatnk to Waidek too). I did not realize that tests/Makefile forces debug info on. I repeated the tests after removing "-g" option, now it looks just as expected (1 failure only):
TEST agettext2test.pas: failed 3: foobar (bazqux)
That's not the expected one (fjf341b.pas, only with `--enable-checking').
Apparently the temporary installation of a locale (cf. gettext2.cmp) doesn't work right. It's certainly not a serious problem, and it might well be in the test program/script rather than the Intl unit or even the compiler, but you might want to try and debug it ...
