Is anyone thinking of doing an Amiga port of the GNU C compiler?  this
would be a boon to everyone in the audience on a limited budget, plus
it might give Lattice and Manx incentive to compete, given a free
competitor.  Does anyone know what kind of demands the GNU C compiler
makes on system resources (like memory and disk space)?

I assume that along with the port someone would have to write a set of
libraries for accessing the Amiga ROM routines as well.
