I have just put the source code for GCC 2.1 in pub/downloads on
ftp-os2.nmsu.edu. They are called gccsrc#.zoo where # = 1-5. A
makefile is included which allows GCC to self compile using Gnu Make.

This should be looked at as an interim release. I would have waited to
do a bit of QA first but as a couple of people have expressed interest
in it I put it up as soon as I got a clean compile. I haven't looked at
compiling gas yet.

Does anyone have the source code for o2obj? Archie couldn't help.

Decompressed the source code takes about 16 megs and about 3 hours to
compile on a 486/50-16MB so I doubt if many will want it, but its
there for those that do and it satisfies the GPL.

Future plans are as follows:

	1. Clean up the parts that have been hacked so that as few 
	   changes as possible need to be made to the original GNU
	   distribution.
	
	2. Upgrade to 2.2.2. Having done part 1, upgrading to later 
	   versions should be easier as well.

	3. Figure out what's missing in the libraries and fix it.

	4. Look at getting a debugger up and running.

I expect the above to take no longer that 3-4 years :-) Seriously, as
most of my programming time is limited to the 10 pm - 2 am time slot
things won't move as fast as I would like. Is there any organised work
being done that I don't know about? Has everybody ditched this version
in favour of EMX?

For what it is worth I have decided to call this version GCC/2 it has
a nice ring to it. Better than 'native' etc.
