I believe that you are talking about v2.0 of GCC/G++. I was at the FSF BOF (birds-of-a-feather) general discussion on Tuesday night (1/22) and I believe that Len Tower (one of the originals of the FSF, and their main sorta-publicity type person) said that GCC/G++ 2.0 on the Amiga would probably be one of the first ports. I might even say that it was going to be the first, but I can't really remember. Seems like it was either the Amiga or some H-P workstations. Since both use Moto 680xx then it is probably just a matter of how many machines the FSF has of each and how many people are working on the project (2-4 probably). He would not give a release date, but it will probably be in the next couple of months. This is all from memory and I wasn't paying close attention at the time. Maybe if someone else was there also then they could give more details. john gay.
