Except being able to generate much faster code than its 2.9x predesessor, GCC 3.1 brings better C++ compliance, Pentium4 optimizations while even more platforms are now supported. The first Linux distribution to soon use GCC 3.1 by default (along side to ICC), is Gentoo Linux, while others will surely follow.
