	Hold on, let's get this straight.  Thad is right, it IS NOT
	IMPOSSIBLE, JUST IMPROBABLE :-).

	Ken Marshall, Stan Gibbs, Case Larsen and I are working (slowly :-)
	on a port of GNU CC to the Amiga.  We (I should say Ken) have
	come up with the appropriate files to get a SUN version of GNU CC
	to produce A68K assembly output (with a little help from AWK :-).

	Our plan is to use this cross-compiling environment to compile
	the GNU stuff on the SUN, move it over to the Amiga, and from
	there re-compile it (whew!).  Of course we will need to get a
	PD clib (I heard rumors of one coming down the net sometime this
	summer .... :-), etc.

	If anyone would care to lend a hand (how good did you say your code
	was? :-).  Please EMail me and we'll talk (or type depending on
	your point of view :-).

ktm@rice.edu  (Ken Marshall)
stan@hpcvcae  (Stan Gibbs)
clarsen@garnet.berkeley.edu  (Case Larson)
kjohn@richsun.uucp  (John "KJohn" Kjellman)

	P.S. (you knew this was coming right?)

	If you know of any PD Amiga (or UNIX :-) libs we could make use
	of PLEASE LET US KNOW !!!!!
