Close - PGCC is based on egcs 1.0.1

>1. How stable is it?

C compiler is good.  Don't know about c++

>2. How stable is it using -O6 and brethren?
Thats all I use

pgcc home page is at www.goof.com.  There is a list of mirrors there as
well.  Binutils
is available from the regular djgpp/simtel mirrors.

Yes - I've heard of some people putting it into separate directories and
using -B/-V.  Its easy to go back and forth if you keep your original gcc
and djdev kits.

Haven't heard any responses from anybody so I'm going to upload as is....
