I for one would love to see a DJGPP-compatible x86 binary for egcs in the
djgpp tree somewhere, kept up to date when new egcs releases are made. (I
don't care about snapshots, just releases.)
All I can find for egcs on DOS right now is an 8 megabyte archive of
sources (and that's just for C, no C++ ... C++ adds another 8 megabytes...)
and a mailing list chock full of people reporting umpteen million problems
trying to get the darn thing to compile on this, that, or the other system.
