Hello.

I think the problem was that gcc 3.3 needed a lot of stack space. I think
that's fixed now. See Andris's message "Re: DJGPP 2.04 status page" from Thu,
20 Feb 2003 16:25:55 +0200.

I've marked this item as resolved. Let me know, if anyone thinks it should
still be open.

Thanks, I've moved that to the resolved section.

Oops, downgraded to priority 2.

gcc 3.3 isn't strictly released yet, but I expect it will be by the time DJGPP
2.04 final comes out. So it should be fixed by then.

Currently only two files fail to build with gcc 3.3. It's probably not a lot
of effort to fix them. Esa Peuha described how to fix it a while back, IIRC.
You're right - I've been spending my time on more important things!

Added, thanks.
