Neat.

By the way, FYI: At this moment, the FAILs (only, not looking at the
kfails at the moment) for GCC 3.4 and GCC HEAD are in several
categories:
  - gdb bugs
  - testsuite bugs
  - java tests, blah
  - namespace issue that David is looking at

I believe that no more of them are caused by GCC.  The
multi_line_while_statement failures in your tables were, but I checked
in a fix this morning.
