I need C++ exception support for DJGPP 1.12m4 for a project I'm 
working on, but gcc 2.6.3 (the version of gcc installed with 1.12m4), 
which I understand is supported in gcc 2.7.x.

What is the procedure involved for building a new version of gcc for 
DJGPP?  (I heard someone mention that it should be possible, but there 
wasn't anymore description involved than that.)  Can it be done with 
an older version of gcc?

(I'm also interested in compiling the latest version for Linux 1.2.8, 
if anyone has any pointers in that direction.)

Where can I get the latest sources to gcc so I can begin on this 
question (the latest version of gcc I heard about was 2.7.1 -- is this 
the latest, or am I behind the times?)?

Thanks.
