Yes, the port of gcc 2.8.0 has been annonunced by Robert Hoehne a month
ago:

| The port includes the following archives:
| 
|   - gcc280b.zip    The binaries for gcc to compile C programs.
|   
|   - gpp280b.zip    The binaries to compile C++ programs and it
|                    includes also libstdcxx.a (on unix known as
|                    libstdc++.a)
|                    
|   - objc280b.zip   The binaries to compile Objective C programs
|   
|   - gcc280s.zip    The sources to rebuild the binaries from the
|                    archives above
|                    
|   - lgpp280b.zip   The compiled library libgpp.a (on unix known
|                    as libg++.a)
|                    
|   - lgpp280s.zip   The sources for libgpp
| 
| All these archives are available on
| 
| ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/
| 
| and mirrors of it.
| 
| The archive gcc280b.zip is needed in any case. That means it is not
| enough to download only gpp280b.zip when you want to compile only
| C++ programs.
| 
| All the sources are already configured. But to make them, please read
| the file README.DJGPP which is part of the archive, since it contains
| more details about rebuilding from the sources.

The Followup-To header must either point to one or more newsgroups where
follow-ups (public answers) should go, or it must have merely the word
"poster" in it, if you want to receive all answers by mail.

If you want to redirect replies (private answers, by mail), you should
set the Reply-To header to your mail address.
