The GNU {C,C++,Objective-C} compiler has been released and is now
available for testing on the SunOS 4.x and Linux systems in the
department. A build for Irix 5.3 should follow soon. 

The pertinent files can be found in:
/usr/local/gnu/gcc-2.8.0/{bin,lib,info}. 

Please note that this is only a test build. Please give this a try with
your projects where/when/if it applies and let the CS Support group know
about any problems that you encounter.

The changes in this release seem to primarily encompass the C++
implementation and in particular: exception handling, templates and RTTI.
Please see the files NEWS and CPP-NEWS for the details (to be found in the
aforementioned directory.
