See http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/ for more info
on running egcs natively under win32 (aka mingw32). I've been distributing 
a reasonably complete development toolchain based on egcs-971023, and now
it's time for egcs-1.0 hopefully sometime this weekend.

My local changes are derived from Jan-Jaap's changes (see my web page for
more info -- follow the ftp pointer), and then quite a few other misc
fixes to account for win32 braindeadness. Most of Jan-Jaap's changes are 
now approved by Kenner (thanks to Jan-Jaap's great work and persistence), 
and will be in FSF gcc-2.8.0. The other changes, eg., the ones to libU77 
are completely unofficial until they're approved by the respective 
authors/maintainers.

Good news is that my local tree based on egcs-971201 snapshot passed all
but gcov and profile dejagnu tests. The failures are "expected" on this
platform, at least for now.
