The Free Software Foundation (who "made" GnuC) are boycotting Apple. So all
machine-dependent files (headers I believe) will never be made. Even under
Minix one can find such dependencies. Sorry for you!

Read the Info_Sheet available via "archive-server@plains.nodak.edu" (or ftp to
this site). Say "send MINIX/doc/Info_Sheet" and read it. There is a nice
(but mostly incomplete) list of Sites, containing Minix-Stuff. There are
some Sites named, which hold UUCP-Sources (and much more, X-mas is there!)

De nada.
