From: madodelDESPAM at ptdprolog.net 

A new beta level update of GCC is on Netlabs FTP site
ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/GCC-3.3.5-beta4.zip

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

Innotek website for GCC for OS/2:

"If you have any questions regarding the compiler we recommend to join the
UnixOS2 mailinglist:

There is also a web interface at gmane.org:

The ReleaseNote.os2 for this release states:

"GCC v3.3.5 / LIBC v0.6 - Beta 4:
--------------------------------

    Thanks to Lorne, Froloff and nickk for sending me patches,
    debugging problems and testing fixes.

    New features:

        o Added st_dev and st_ino calculation for fstat and stat.

        o Added most of the wide string functions.
          N.B. the stream functions are still missing.

        o New functions:
          SafeDosStartSession(), wcscat(), wcschr(), wcscmp(),
          wcscoll(), wcscpy(), wcscspn(), wcslcat(), wcslcpy(),
          wcslen(), wcsncat(), wcsncmp(), wcsncpy(), wcspbrk(),
          wcsrchr(), wcsspn(), wcsstr(), wcstok() and wcswidth()


    Bug fixes:

        o settimeofday() year problem.

        o Some underflow/overflow problems tested for by many
          Configure scripts was fixed by using a 64-bit time
          type internally.

        o fxsave/fxrstore problem in fork(). (This isn't tested
          because lack of (reliable) obsolete hardware.)

        o Fixed fork() and DosLoadModule problem in child.

        o nl_langinfo(CODESET) now returns something useful,
          adding a few ascii codeset aliases at the same time.

        o Bug in socket inheritance over exec/spawn.

        o Missing semphore and signal blocking when processing
          external signals.

        o Two rmdir errno problems, and made it fail on symlink.

        o Fixed incorrect monetary locale for the "C" locale
          after setlocale call.

        o Fixed signal queue node leak.

        o Fixed missing release of signal semaphore and signal
          unblocking in a failure code path.

        o Fixed a few filehandle conversion bugs in os2_select.

        o Fixed libsocket to set errno to ENOSOCK when given a
          filehandle instead of a socket. Previous was ENOSYS.

        o Corrected NP_NBLK define in os2emx.h.

        o Export __mcount stub. LIBCxx.prf export non-stub.

        o Added missing libdl stub libraries (dlfcn is in libc
          as of last release).

        o Fixed missing WNOHANG handling in the wait functions.

        o Adjusted the ECHILD and EINVAL errnos usage in
          the wait functions to match the waitpid() spec.

        o ???

	Todos before LIBC06.DLL:
	
		0. Fix all bugs. :-)
		
		1. Reimplement opendir in BSD style (+fchdir).
		
		2. Shared IPC structures for XSI msq, sem and shm.
		
		3. Missing job pgid functions.
		
		4. Port GLIBC intl/*. gettext is a pita! because it's
		   passing FILE pointers around between different LIBCs.
		   objdump is constantly broken between LIBC versions.

        5. Figure out the EA exclusive read access trouble.

        6. Calc ino_t on file creation and store it in EAs.

        7. Some sysctl() required for coreutils + a bit
           of tcpip additions.

        8. adjtime() implementation."
