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

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

GCC v3.3.5 / LIBC v0.6 - Release Candidate 1:
---------------------------------------------

    New features:

        o Replaced the BSD regex with the GLIBC one.

        o Replaced the BSD getopt with the GLIBC one adding optreset
          for BSD compatability.

        o Added libcrypt from GLIBC.

        o Added argp from GLIBC.

        o Added obstack from GLIBC.

        o Finally added a crude [v]asprintf() implementation.

        o Added missing math bits from GLIBC.

        o New functions:
          rawmemchr(), strchrnul(), fgets_unlocked(), gets_unlocked(),

    Bug fixes:

        o Fixed various bugs related to __declspec.

        o Fixed a bug in alloca which was causing all -O levels
          to break.

        o Added UniStrFromUcs and UniStrToUcs to uconv.h and libos2.

        o Fixed quite a few libc issues, see the ChangeLog.LIBC
          for full details.


    Known 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 The HLL debug info isn't working 100% correctly.
