They should.  I haven't tested them, and I know the 6.0 ones work with 5.4, 
but I did check the FreeBSD CVS repository, and it seems like most of the 
changes are things like updating the usage function.  I think I saw maybe one 
function change, which just added an option.

I have no idea why it doesn't work, then.  I only know it doesn't.

gcc-4.1 is installed now.  It looks like everything was successful.  
So far, we've had (on the C tests alone), 408/405/813 [0] unexpected 
failures, versus 4.0 which had 598/756/1354.  So this is a major improvement: 
we have only 60% of the bugs we had before in 4.0.  I will investigate some of 
the failures, since most of them are regressions from 3.4.

I have attached the test-summary.gz, so if anyone wants to do anything with 
it, feel free.

Thank you.

[0] That's a/b/c, where a is running dejagnu with platform unix, b is running 
with unix/-march=i686, and c is total (a+b).
