Greetings all.

>You can now get GCC 2.3.1 from pub/gnu/gcc-2.3.1.tar.Z
>on prep.ai.mit.edu by anonymous ftp.  Compressed diffs
>from version 2.2.2 in gcc-2.2.2-2.3.1.diff.Z are almost 2 meg.

>The main new feature of version 2.3 is that it comes with a run-time

>In 2.3, the built-in functions are much less insistent.  You do not

>This version supports two additional machines: the Alpha and the
>Elxsi.  There is also some support for cross-compiling GCC itself.
>There is better support for Linux, 386BSD, SCO, NeXT, and the GNU C
>library.
