Hi folks,
I'm working on a vlsi cad system that requires a C compiler somewhere, and
three years ago, we choose to use gcc for it's parametrizarion possibilities.
We described a foolish target architecture, had gcc compile to its assembler
code, and once this file created, we where happy. At least I was.
This worked just fine with conventions of gcc1.39, and today I noticed
that the system administrator had ftped some later version of gcc, and
discarded the old one.
I said to myself ``go on boy, let's see if you're still able to build gcc for
your machine'' 

Too bad, I'm not!
I renamed the configuration file, read the INSTALL, the ChangeLogs, and noticed
some stuff that implies my machine wont allow the compiler to compile.
I haven't read the *info* yet, but I saw the birth of TRAMPOLINE stuffs, and
I'm afraid other things of that style where added.
So I've got two questions :
1) Where can I get the gcc-1.39 sources
2) Have I any interest in changing to 2.3.2, and if yes, are the descriptions
   subject to change with new version ? (I'm about to end my thesis, and I
   guess my work will be of interest only if it can be recompiled in the futur,
   myself having left the lab...)

Thanks for any replies,
Fred.
