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. > Is it working fairly well...is there a >recent DOS snapshot that is stable for normal non-PGCC-specific >optimization? 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. > The various web sites I've inspected give contradictory >information.

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) Andrew
