Hi Guys - 

There will be another binary distribution of pgcc available 
from www.goof.com/pcg probably tomorrow.  I have ftped the files, 
and they should be automatically updated at midnight.  This latest one
is based on the GNU 970522 snapshot.

Some notes - 

PGCC uses proper alignment now.  It will work with either 
the regular as.exe from the binutils, or the patched as (formerly
available on goof).  I suggest going back to the original as.exe.

A new version of libgcc.a is included.  This has many symbols for 
RTTI stuff, so C++ users take note.  Also, long long support should
be better.

The readme file is a lot bigger and better (thanks to your input), and
now has instructions for rebuilding common packages.

I have stubedited the exes to 2 MB stack size, should 
minimize crashes.

I put a zip file together (pulled from the mailing list), of ways
to read the performance counters from the Pentium

GXX is included in the c++ package.

I have tested it a lot better - 

Used -m486 (no alignment incompatibilities, really :)
Compiled the DJ test package.  
Compiled Libc, libm, everything else
Compiled allegro
Compiled (as best I could) the unreleased FSF C Torture tests.
Compiled POVRay

Still no c++ testing though.


One Final Note - goof can be a flaky server.  Please check the file 
size to make sure you got the whole thing if zip says file corrupted
or something.

Files to look for - 

pgcc0522.zip - base package + c support
cpls0522.zip - gxx and cc1plus
p5prof.zip   - pentium profiling code


Andrew
