3.5 won't be released for at least another year.  You can
get the GCC cvs branch that is used for 3.5 development,
but it is certainly not ready for prime time.  I build the
3.5 branch several times a week and there are some severe
problems with it (e.g., excessive compile times and excessive
use of memory).

For those that do not know, the entire middle-end and much
of the back-end of GCC has been re-written in 3.5.
