Apparently, it is due to be released with gcc-2.00, whenever that appears. I would like very much to have it available because I also want G++ on this box. I have no idea where you got that notion. Make and GCC are quite unrelated. Version 3.60 of GNU Make will include support for AIX archives, which, as far as I know, is all that is required for RS6000s. Alas, there also may be a political problem arising with IBM and lawsuits, so the AIX/RS6000 port may *never* be available from FSF. This is completely false. The only problem IBM had with us was a misunderstanding about distributing Emacs. The issue of ports of GNU software to IBM machines is entirely separate. We are not in the business of porting our software to random machines and operating systems, but we are willing to include some ports if they don't take too much trouble to maintain.
