    Now that gcc 2.3.3 is available could someone (e.g. rcharif AT math DOT utexas DOT edu)
    drop us a line regarding:

    (*) libraries? (should I use the same with the v1.09?)
Yes

    (*) a pointer to a document describing the GCC v2.3.3 pros (especially in
	C++ implementation) wrt the GCC v2.2.?

I was personaly interested in the corrections to the class templates
mechanism. (Exception handling still experimental). Check the
gnu.gcc.announce news group to be up to date concerning the
enhancements. (I can send you parts of the Changelog file from the
distribution if you're interested. BTW The Changelog from 2.2.2 to
2.3.3 is a 375192 bytes file).

    (*) will GCC v2.3.3 ever come in the DJGPP? (or is it now there? Am I missing
	something?).

You are asking the wrong person. It is DJ's decision. But I think that
he didn't want to patch the FSF source or release a limited version.
The one I released doesn't support compiling more than one file at a
time.  Makoto Kobayashi <na70103 AT cc DOT mie-u DOT ac DOT jp> posted a possible and
easy patch. I'll try to apply it this weekend and if it works I'll
post a new version next week.

    GCC.  The Objective-C run-time that comes with GCC-2.3.3 has lots of problems.
    In fact, the only machines I have ever heard anyone say that it works on are
    Sparc and Next boxes.  It fails to work on most systems.  In fact, I don't

To make the objective C operational. One needs to compile the runtime
library in the objc/ directory. I tried to make it under dos but it
fails and I don't have time to investigate the problem. But it is
esssential to have this runtime for the executable to work.
