A now beta level update of GCC is on Netlabs FTP site

GCC is a distribution of the GNU C/C++ compiler suite and associated
utilities for the IBM OS/2 platform.  

The ReleaseNote.os2 for this release states:

"GCC v3.3.5 / LIBC v0.6 - Beta 1:

		o setitimer/alarm implementation. Needs some review later
		  the accuracy isn't extacly great.
		
		o Added a couple of missing os2emx.h features.
		
		o Some more 16-bit thunkers.

	Bug fixes:
		
		o Select worker called wrong tcpip function.
		
		o Incorrect assertion during thread destruction.
		
		o Fixed broken chdir and getdrive.
		
		o Improved deadlock detection (fmutex have changed,
		  thus stdio FILE is also changed).
		
		o ...


	Known Limitiations/Problems:
		
		o Static linking not possible - will be fixed.
		
		o Job control will only be applied to thread 1 in a process.
		  This won't change.
		
		o Missing some process group interfaces required for
		  job control. They'll show up soon.
		
		o Doesn't evaluate trailing slash in paths as directory
		  specifier, it's currently ignored."
