There is a port of gcc (the GNU C compiler) at new xanth, i.e.
abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov [128.155.23.64] and it is called "gcc020.LZH". You
will find it under /amiga or incoming/amiga. Apparently it requires the
manx linker and the amiga include files to work and it consumes huge
amount of stack space (more then 100k). Another drawback is that it only
works with a 68020 CPU or a 68030 CPU. It uses the arp library to start
processes (the preprocessor etc) and apparently there is some problems
with doing this under OS 2.0 so it will only work for OS 1.3. (I just
happened to have a A2000/A2620 with 5Meg ram so these requirements is not
a problem for me at least ;-)

I only just fetched the archive yesterday and I am not involved in this work so I
might have misunderstood some of the details.
