%#I plan to get this going soon. Haven't started yet, but I've been in touch

Needless to say, I'm no longer working on porting gcc. (Thanks again to
John Dunning...!) Still no word from Richard Stallman about whether he'll
include Atari ST support in the next official gcc release. In any case,
since the gcc compiler will compile itself correctly on the ST, I don't
see any reason why g++ can't be ported over now...
