You can now get GCC version 2.5.1 from prep.ai.mit.edu
in the file /pub/gnu/gcc-2.5.1.tar.gz.
Diffs from version 2.5.0a are in gcc-2.5.0.2.5.1.diff;
they are about 180k.
The main purpose of this release is to fix bugs, but here are some
user-visible changes. Not everything in these items is new in 2.5.1;
some items are just partyly new, and some items we just forgot to
mention in the 2.5.0 news.
* The i860-based Paragon machine is now supported.
* The Hitachi 3050 (an HP-PA machine) is now supported.
* The variable __GNUC_MINOR__ holds the minor version number of GCC, as
an integer. For version 2.5.X, the value is 5.
* GCC now supports `long double' meaningfully on the Sparc (128-bit
floating point) and on the 386 (96-bit floating point). The Sparc
support is enabled on on Solaris 2.x because earlier system versions
(SunOS 4) have bugs in the emulation.
* To declare that a function does not return, you must now write
something like this (works only in 2.5):
void fatal () __attribute__ ((noreturn));
or like this (works in older versions too):
typedef void voidfn ();
volatile voidfn fatal;
It used to be possible to do so by writing this:
volatile void fatal ();
but it turns out that ANSI C requires that to mean something
else (which is useless).
Likewise, to declare that a function is side-effect-free
so that calls may be deleted or combined, write
something like this (works only in 2.5):
void computation () __attribute__ ((const));
or like this (works in older versions too):
typedef void voidfn ();
volatile voidfn computation;

A 'serious minor bug.' RMS may finally make it into the OED for that one!
And how, precisely, might one distinguish a 'serious minor bug' from a
'minor serious bug'?
I guess if you spend too much time thinking about 'long long' and
'long double' you're already slouching towards the land of the 'serious
minor bug'.

GCC 2.5.5 and is 76271 bytes long.

These files are located in pub/gnu of prep.ai.mit.edu and the other FTP
sites listed below.
This version fixes bugs reported in GCC 2.5.4. Numerous C++ bugs were
fixed.
Unless there are serious bugs discovered in this release, we expect this
to be the last release in the 2.5.x series. GCC 2.6.0 will be the next
release and should occur sometime around the spring.

A few serious bugs were found after the 2.5.5 release, so GCC 2.5.6 is
being released now.
The diffs between it and version 2.5.5 are on prep in
gcc-2.5.5-2.5.6.diff.gz which is only 8047 bytes. The full release,
gcc-2.5.6.tar.gz is 5996970 bytes.
The C++ compiler in 2.5.6 includes:
* fixes for some common crashes
* correct handling of nested types that are referenced as `foo::bar'
* spurious warnings about friends being declared static and never
defined should no longer appear
* enums that are local to a method in a class, or a class that's
local to a function, are now handled correctly. For example:
class foo { void bar () { enum { x, y } E; x; } };
void bar () { class foo { enum { x, y } E; E baz; }; }

causing miscompares on bootstraps on a number of machines.
There is also a fix to a G++ bug that causes undefined externals when
linking cc1plus on some systems, but that is the only G++ bug fixed in
this version. Likewise, a bug that caused an undefined external when
building the Objective-C library on some systems has been fixed.
A few machine-specific bugs for ARM, HP PA-RISC and RS/6000 are fixed
in this version.
