Seems that date of binary archives is May 6th, 1998. As I remeber I built
these binaries in end of April. There were 2 later releases where some 
problems were fixed (Begin of June and October) including crashes in
some conditions.

So I suggest downloading newest update from Simtelnet.

Unfortunately I cannot use them (and I'm afraid nobody can).

Some general suggestions
	Maybe it would be usefull to upload separate archive with map files:
	(eg.  nm --extern-only gcc.exe | sort >gcc.map). I don't think they
      should be located in Simtelnet but possibility to get such files
      would help).
