There is an active group doing coordinated work on all of these
projects. We have a mailing list for discussions, and the necessary
disk space to keep many versions of different ports online.  Several
ports of GCC (using different strategies) are available.  A first
version of a linker arrived some days ago. Some of this stuff
needs complementing commercial software to be usable, but the goal is
of course a totally free development environment.

  Everything can be FTPd from nic.funet.fi [128.214.6.100] in the
directory tree ~pub/amiga/gcc-port/. There are several subdirectories.
NOTE: This stuff is not in a form suitable for novice users. You
probably need a couple of Megs of memory and several Megs of hard disk
space to use anything at a

  If you want to join the working group (ie. you're a technical type
who wants to contribute time testing the ports, or you want to do some
of the porting work) send mail to amiga-gcc-port-request@nic.funet.fi,
and you'll be added to the mailing list. Right now, we need people to
test the ports.

(There are likely other people who've worked alone on ports, and I
 can't speak for those. Only feel sorry for them :-).
