I think that 3.1 is more stable than 3.4.3 as described in the previous mail. 
On the other hand, there might be the person who needs the function of 3.4 
in the usage of c++ and elf.
(It is difficult to make 3.1 correspond to elf)
The relation between h8300-hms-3.1 and h8300-hms-3.4.3 looks like the relation 
between gcc-2.95.3 and gcc-3.4.5 of pkgsrc.

It is uncertain whether to be able to use this compiler as a business tool, 
though a big problem is not found in my test of more than half a year for
h8300-hms-3.4.2 and h8300-hms-3.4.3. 

Though h8300-elf is necessary for using "ecos etc.", 
when the same program is compiled with a.out and elf, different operation might be found.
(It might be bugs of my programs, Makefile, or map file.)

My final demand is "testing", and I think that committing is premature. 
On the other hand, since there is a person who wants to use c++ or elf, 
it is accepted to commit or to update pkgsrcs.
