Of course, but this also means some work
- to get GPC integrated into EGCS,
(This task involves changes to the EGCS backend which must
be coordinated with the other EGCS developers. In earlier
cases our very small suggestions were not accepted, so I do
not really expect our major requirements to make it into the
EGCS main line.)
- to keep track with EGCS development,
- not to lose support for stable releases (gcc-2.8.1, egcs-1.1.x).
Due to a big lack of human resources we currently do not feel
able to perform this task - although it is on our schedule.
Help welcome!
