Hi Guys,
I see the following in the changes for GCC 4.4:
Support for a number of older systems and recently unmaintained or
untested target ports of GCC has been declared obsolete in GCC 4.4.
Unless there is activity to revive them, the next release of GCC will
have their sources permanently removed.
The following ports for individual systems on particular architectures
have been obsoleted:
* Generic a.out on IA32 and m68k (i[34567]86-*-aout*,
m68k-*-aout*)
For the record, the Generic a.out support for IA32 is used by my GCC
4.3.3 and upcoming GCC 4.4.x ports for OS/2. I don't yet have the
patches in any form ready enough to be submitted for inclusion, but
they are available from
http://www.smedley.info/os2ports/index.php?page=gcc
I'd be really grately if the IA32 a.out support could be left in place
as it does work for OS/2 at least :)

Cheers,
Paul.
