A freind of mine has got a 386, and was looking for a native mode 386
compiler for real cheap. I located the diff files for gnu's GCC for the 386,
but there are several questions about it.

A) is GCC a UNIX only affair?  He can't pay SCO's prices, and so is stuck 
   under DOS for the time being.  

B) If it does work under DOS could someone out there point me to a source 
   of the compiled binaries?  This'd be a lot simpler that using the diff
   files and recompiling the thing.

C) (even if it's unix only) anyone care to share any comments on GCC?
   If he could scrape up the money for the cheapest version of XENIX (sans
   C compiler and such) could he possibly get GCC running, and if so, is it a
   viable compiler?

Thanks

(oh, any replies can be redirected to lfoard@max.wpi.edu, since he's the one
with the 386, I'll clip 'n save any posted articles for him)
