Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: OS/2 port of GCC 3.4.6 now available

Hi All,

I've been spending a great deal of time over the last few weeks working on 
getting GCC 3.4.6 working on OS/2.  Our current GCC (3.3.5) is starting to 
cause problems with projects like Mozilla due to it's age and the 
reluctance of the Mozilla maintainers to accept patches that are due to 
bugs in old versions of GCC.

My port is now in a state where it can be used to compile many different 
programs (rsync, mysql, apache2, samba, firefox) so I figured it's time to 
publically announce it.

The port is largely based on Knut's changes to v3.3.5 that are contained in 
Netlabs SVN.

Thanks to the brave guys on the libc.user mailing list that helped test the 
previous build and pointed out the likely cause of the problems building 
Mozilla :)

The OS/2 binaries (and source patches) are available from my ports page at 
http://os2ports.smedley.info

Cheers,

Paul.
