There was also a port for Mac OS X on x86.

I could not readily determine the status of all these new ports
so I left them out of the new patch (based on your suggestions)
for adding more news items:

Good idea. I like whatever it is that you use for your own
blog - perhaps we can install something like that for propagating
GCJ/GCC/Classpath news?

In a similar vein, can you please look at the main content of
the page and suggest changes? For example, now that GNU Classpath
is completely merged into GCJ, the status pages for the libgcj-
Classpath merge and the GUI branch merge are not needed. I also
do not know if the comments about GNU Crypto and Jessie are still
valid. Lastly, rhug itself proclaims that it does not need to
exist any more now that the BC-ABI is fully functional.

Thanks,
Ranjit.
