Well, I'm not entirely sure of that either. But I am totally not up to
speed on the real issues affecting (i.e preventing) a djgpp 2.04 release,
and no one has (of yet) been specific enough to bring them up here, now.
So I am somewhat confused.

And what about the current release manager? The status webpage? Actually,
I thought that DJ Delorie was at least "maintaining the website", so I am
confused(concerned) why the current project staus has been relegated to
the URL of someone who resigned publicly from the project over two years
ago.

Now that sounds more serious. 'Of course' this would have to be fixed
first before any kind of djgpp-elf based distro could be made available,
as it is based on gcc 4.1.x. Strange that dborca has never mentioned such
issues. I know that he already has a libc.so, and that djgpp-elf is
currently gcc 4.x based. Hmmmm....

Ben
