Well, they don't support anything besides 3.4.5, right? So even the 4.3.0 is risking it. Anyways, I'd assume 4.4.0 is more stable than 4.3.0 (esp. since 4.3.3 exists).

BTW, the two advantages to "just testing" with 4.4.0 is: a). you can see if it improves performance, and b). you can see if anything breaks or acts weird with 4.4.0 (which DJGPP still lacks). For instance, I tested 4.3.0 before it was official, and discovered their silly "-Wparentheses now enabled in -Wall" decision. Sometimes it's good to know these things as soon as possible!!
