Not the last time I tried, a couple of years ago.
I quite liked Gcc when it was at version 2.93 and I wasn't considering cross-compilation. Now I find it sickening even from a purely practical point of view. It's still usable for compiling my own simple code, and where other programmers haven't tried to be clever it will generally produce acceptable results, but..... erg! It makes me shiver. It's like walking through a minefield, except that when things go wrong the only thing that gets hurt is your brain. (And, of course, you can lose a lot of time.)
