GNU C corss-compiler for R3000 from DOS???

I have been referred to this mailing list for a source for a 
DOS-hosted cross-compiler for the R3000. Here is my original
question:

I was thumbing through LSI Logic's FasTrack33K Catalog of third-
party support for their LR33000 RISC CPU (An R3000 processor) and
came across a listing from the Free Software Foundation regarding the 
Gnu compiler. The write-up claims a C-compiler and
assembler is available for the LR33000 and is supported on 
386/DOS hosts (i.e. PC's). However, when I got the GNU newsletter and
searched the FTP site, I found that cross-compiling for the R3000
is not supported.

Can you clear this up for me? Is there an R3000 cross-compiler and
assembler available hosted on a DOS or OS/2 platform baed on the
GNU tools? I know that IDT has a GNU front end compiler but they
claim they built their own assembler and linker. Are they obligated
by the FSF license to distribute the ported GNU tools to me if I
ask (at least the compiler)?

Any info about sources for these ported tools would be greatly
appreciated. Also, if you could clear up for me whether or not
a company that ports GNU tools is obligated to redistribute those
tools, it would be helpful.

  Thanks,

  Richard Voyles
