I believe you meant to post this to djgpp-workers, so I redirected it.

If this binary distribution is going to work with a wide variety of Linux 
systems and for many different versions of the kernel and libc, then it's 
probably a good idea.

But if the binaries will become outdated by the next release of the 
kernel, or if different Linux distributiosn are incompatible with each 
other in ways that affect the GCC binaries, then the binary distribution 
might create more problems than they solve.
