GCC 4.1.2 available (now relocatable!)
runtime:
tsk tsk tsk C style casts :P
Anyways...if it's this easy to build gcc (not very easy to figure out though ;) ) why doesn't GNU make official windows binaries?
Ceniza:
I remember seeing that problem before, but I can't remember the gcc version neither if it was printf or cout. The explanation I got was that gcc had problems displaying and, IIRC, operating on 80-bit float numbers (long double). Maybe that's the reason Digital Mars likes to say their C++ compiler is able to work with 80-bit floats without any problems.
I just tried that with GCC 4.1.2 on Linux, using both cout and printf. It had no problems displaying the right value of pi, so I guess it's a Windows only problem.

GNU doesn't even make Linux binaries, they only provide the source, it's up to you, the OS distribution or someone else to build it.

One, GNU does NOT normally offer binary for Windows at all.
Two, MinGW who does is waiting for all of the GCC front-ends the MinGW supports to work to an acceptable level.
MinGW says only the C front-end works at an acceptable level for them.
And, MinGW says the Ada and Java front-ends are very broken.
Note, there are websites that offer Ada and Java front-ends for GCC 4.x that work under windows so take the reason with a grain of salt.

Well, someone should set up official binaries site...
But it's a heck of a lot easier to compile and all on Linux...you don't need binaries...
