(with Universal > Interfaces) Probably not. At one point I was actively maintaining GCC for MPW, but then Apple abandoned MPW (temporarily, as it turned out), and I gave up on them. At this point the basic build machinery is still around, though outdated - it depends on sed'ing Unix makefiles into MPW makefiles, thus vulnerable to infrastructural changes - and the C code patches made to a Cygnus-only version are awaiting integration into egcs. So far no one has stepped forward to take it up, although it seems there are a certain number of people who are wishing someone else would do it... :-) > -Are there any binaries available from anywhere ?

There used to be a lot of MPW dialect oddities that I had to hack into GCC's frontend, although the changeover to PowerPC forced some of those to be abandoned fortunately. Stan
