The problems with 2.7.2 are exaggerated. I'm using it for everything. I believe it will soon become standard on 2.2. > So, does anyone know where I can find a 2.6.3 tarball or at the very > least a 2.6.0 that I can then apply the patches onto. I'd strongly recommend you get 2.7.2 (or 2.7.3, if it's already out; release is supposed to be imminent) from ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/gcc-2.7.2.tar.gz. > Also, any pointers or tips on cross-compiling won't be turned away. 8) Nothing in general. Let me know if you run into problems. Greg
