O.K. So the answer is patience. :-)
On the whole however, let me make this comment:
I have already brought in and compiled gcc 2.4.5, and will be using it
for my programming projects. I in fact made gcc, g++, and objc, though
I deleted the last to save the disk space.
I have no intention of bringing another copy down with an update, as I
do not have direct access to the net, and have to do it via the Nike
protocol.
I find it somewhat disturbing that the plan is take apart the gcc
distribution, though I can thoroughly understand the need to have a
smaller dist. I can also understand wanting to get rid of all the
files that pertain to other cpu's, though I would warn against a total
conversion to Berkeley style make, because I'm sure there are a few
intrepid adveturers out there who will make a cross-compiler, since
they have access to other machines...
One question: What version of gcc 1 are you going to distribute?
Hmmm, really gotta get a new drive soon...
