The first test build of gcc-4.6.0 for DJGPP is available at

http://ap1.pp.fi/djgpp/gcc/4.6.0/

There is also Linux to DJGPP cross-compiler RPMs available
(should hopefully work on recent RPM based distributions)

It took some efforts to get also libquadmath to be built
at all and 'REAL (KIND=16)' support enabled in GNU fortran.

However REAL(16) support is broken even worse rather
than for Linux x86_64.
- REAL(16) operations seems to work OK
- Assigning constants or using REAL(16) constants in
   expressions does not (in Linux x86_64 only second
   of them does not work: I tested on Fedora 15 development
   version). The problem is with FORTRAN Quad precision
   constants (eg 1.2345678912345Q1 misinterpretted as
   a single precision constant). I have not yet had time
   submitted bug report though.

Should I leave it on at all for DJGPP?

libquadmath seems to work OK though. Not very much other testing
done though

PS. Only DJGPP v2.04 build for now
