For stability reasons, gcc2.4.5 is *STILL* the most stable version of gcc2 that the FSF has yet created. Until the patches quit flowing often (gcc2.5.8 was released this last weekend) I wouldn't recommend using another version of the compiler. The main reason for gcc2.5 was C++ support. But, as someone in another group commented, the C++ support in 2.4.5 was weak but it worked, but support in 2.5.X is better but it's busted. I'll take working over broken any day.
