There's a new snapshot built on my hard drive.  I will upload it sometime
this week.
Should come with the basic c package (with haifa scheduler this time), as
well as the c++ compiler (although no c++ libraries, still can't get them to
build).  Also, the frontend collect2
will build finally, but it relies heaviliy on vfork, so it will have to be
recoded before it will run.
Mostly egcs fixes in this next release, and a few djgpp specific fixes.

Don't understand this exactly.  If you specify -O2 or lower (-O1), you won't
get and
pgcc specific optimization, just the underlying gcc/egcs optimization.

I wasn't aware there was more than one web site (goof)

Soon as I get a couple hours and upload it.

For C users you need the new gcc, cpp, cc1, specs, and libgcc.a.  C++ users
also get a cc1plus, and a gxx (although the original dj gxx works fine too).
C++ will
also eventually get a working libstdc++.a (if I ever get  a working c++
cross compiler, having header file problems),  and a ld frontend for
repository stuff (when the
vfork get straightened out)
