1) Have somebody tried GCC 4.1? How it works on ~amd64?
2) Have somebody tried modular X v7.0? How it works on ~amd64?
3) Have anybody tried GLX (http://www.hboeck.de/item/266)? How does it work on amd64? |

have tried installing with gcc-4.1 with ~amd64. Had problems with approx. a dozen packages which did not compile with -o3 option. Dont know if they would have compiled with -o2, did a quickpkg on the running system (gcc-3.4.4). A simple fluxbox multimedia system (no gnome, no kde, but e17-cvs for testing purposes  ) |

I've been using GCC 4.1, and basically it works for most things. It's a bit more strict about things like the incorrect code "class Foo { int Foo::bar(int i); };" (The function shouldn't have Foo:: in front of it), but when that breaks things, I can fix them with -fpermissive. Also, a bunch of stuff fails to link and the linker suggests that I needed to use -fPIC, and although I think this is probably a compiler bug, for the short term I put -fPIC in my flags and now KDE compiles.
As for modular X, it works fine, the biggest lack is documentation of exactly what I need to have the same X I had before. When I first did it, I was having problems with fonts being splotchy, as though they had been resized from a smaller size with no interpolation, and antialiasing only made it fuzzier. I may have fixed this by installing corefonts and also every package in media-fonts that included the string "BigReqs", but I'm not sure whether this got every last instance.
On the subject of fonts, the only way I found to get GTK apps to respect the settings I give them in the gnome control panel while in KDE is to put a symlink to gnome-settings-daemon in my ~/.kde/Autostart.
Also, when I use app-emulation/spim, regardless of whether from portage or built myself, when I run xspim, it just prints the name of a courier font and dies. I'll file a bug when I get around to it.
No idea about GLX |

I had a full GCC 4.1.X gnome system running on my laptop. It seemed to be relatively stable. I've since back ported to the GCC 4.0.2. It seemed a better use of my time to work on an unstable GCC core and not a developing GCC core. At least with an unstable I can submit bugs and not be laughed out of the country.
Modular X works great on my GCC 4.0.2 laptop, but failed repeatedly on X server and Mesa on my GCC 3.4.4 desktop.
No experience with GLX (Other then nvidia-glx..  )
Best of luck.
