Hi!

Perhaps I'll have DJGPP port of egcs-1.1a (release) this week. I'm 
working almost only with development snapshots of egcs-1.1 last 
month and didn't get any serious problems.

Some notes:
   - I used patched djdev202 and I'm building egcs for use with
     djdev202. To use it with djdev201 it will be necessary to slightly
     hack specs file and to add crtf.o to provide exceptions handling.
     I hope no other changes will be needed
   - C++ sources should be recompiled when changing to egcs-1.1

Suggested structure of archives:

egcs11p.zip 
------------------  
bash script that does necessary changes to original egcs-1.1a and 
libg++ sources and some related files (readmes, etc.). I don't think 
it's nice to to upload more than 10Mb source archive. This
way is different from one used to distribute sources of packages 
ported to DJGPP. Adventages: such script should run Ok if version 
number slightly changes (perhaps with egcs-1.0.1 when such will 
be released). Problems: 
-- need to install autoconf and patch autoheader to run under Win95
-- need for LFN support to build from sources (I didn't try to get it
   working without LFN support and perhaps will not have time
   for that.
   	
gcc-e11b.zip - C compiler binaries (perhaps only this archive
                      should be changed to use djdev201)
gpp-e11b.zip - C++ compiler binaries
lgp-e11b.zip  - libg++-2.8.1.1a compiled with egcs-1.1a
objce11b.zip - Objective C compiler binaries
g77-e11b.zip - GNU Fortran compiler (version 0.5.24)

I currently don't have plans to to build this all using djdev201 as
I no more have that installed.
