Or, if you're interested in adding a different point of view, you can
download both 3.4.2 and 3.5-rc1 binaries and build something that is
important to you, either a benchmark or a program that you or your
company develops.

Compatibility testing is more important than performance regressions,
but we can't build the world with our release candidates on every
platform. If people would replace their own compilers with RC1 and
build their own projects, we'd love to hear from their failures!
