Allright all you PC weenies!!!

I am using GCC-2.1 and libg++ and a host of other GNU tools on
ESIX 5.3.2D (i386 PC AT&T Unix 5.3.2). I've got binaries and I've set
up anonymous UUCP on my machine.

The tools work just fine if you take the time to port them instead of
whining about it or wanting someone else to do it. If you really want
to whine to someone, whine to me. I've probably got whatever it is
you wish you had. Just ask.

In terms of effort: It took me about two nights to get it up and
running, and another few nights of bug finding and fixing to get it
all to work correctly. The people at FSF and Cygnus were marvelously
helpful and deserve a virtual standing ovation!!! I did all this while
I was (am) working two consulting positions. It just wan't that hard.

Kudos to Per Bothner and Stu Grossman at Cygnus, in particular, for
taking the time to work with me on the problems I was finding and
fixing.

Now, here's the meat of this message. Pay attention:

Since it *is* the case that the folks at FSF/Cygnus don't have the
time or inclination to work on improving GCC/G++/LIBG++ support on 386
PC Unix, WE HAVE TO DO IT OURSELVES. Work *with* the people working on
free software, not against them. Instead of railing against GNU, take
the time to port and test their software, people!!

Get yourself a copy of the software (from me or someone else), get it
up and running, start to play, find and *fix* the bugs!!! Your efforts
can help thousands of others who also want to use the GNU compiler
suite.
