Therefore some questions: - there are 2 languages that were not supported earlier (egcs- 1.1.2 and before): chill and java. I know nothing about chill.The compiler and runtime library builds for DJGPP without problem but I don't have any example to test and don't know whether we need it at all. About java support in gcc. There is no runtime library in egcs source archive. There is separate runtime library available from sourceware.cygnus.com but as I understand it's in rather develoment stage. Should we build binary archives for java. I also haven't done any tests with it. About GPC. GPC requires to apply pach to gcc sources and as far as I have tested even patches from 19990409 alpha version does not apply cleanly to gcc-2.95 prereleases (I tested that only in April, but not after that, but I think it's unlikely problems will disappear). So perhaps it would be needed to contact GPC maintainers for this purpose One more question to DJ. Perhaps as with egcs-1.1.2 prerelease binaries it would be nice to put archives on ftp.delorie.com. I can put here C and C++ compiler binaries (about 4Mb), but full source and binary archives (>15Mb) would be too much. Andris
