+ CodeSourcery, LLC is now providing nightly <a
+ href="http://www.codesourcery.com/gcc-snapshots.html">snapshots of
+ GCC</a>, distributed as RPMs for GNU/Linux on Intel platforms, plus
+ build logs and testsuite results. In order to allow users to more
+ easily confirm whether the current snapshot of GCC fixes a particular
+ bug, an online compilation <a
+ href="http://www.codesourcery.com/gcc-compile.html">web form</a> is
+ provided.

Denis Chertykov contributed an AVR port.
AVR is a family of micro controllers made by Atmel with embedded FLASH
program memory and embedded RAM. It is the first GCC port to an 8-bit
microprocessor with a 16-bit address bus.

+ CodeSourcery, LLC and Cygnus, a RedHat company, have contributed an

+ (SSA) representation. SSA will facilitate the implementation of

+
+ <p>December 9, 1999</p>
+
+ <p>We are pleased to announce that
+ <A HREF="http://www.codesourcery.com">CodeSourcery, LLC</A>
+ and
+ <A HREF="http://www.redhat.com">Cygnus, a RedHat company</A>
+ have
+ contributed an implementation of the static single assignment (SSA)
+ representation for the GCC compiler. SSA is used in many modern
+ compilers to facilitate a wide range of powerful optimizations. Now
+ that SSA has been added to GCC, many optimizations can be added that
+ were previously difficult or impossible.</p>
+
+ <p>In a function that has been converted to SSA form, each register is
+ assigned a value only once. This simplification makes implementation
+ of optimization algorithms possible or easier, since the path from
+ assignment to use of a register is more easily determined. After
+ optimizations have been performed, the function is converted out of
+ SSA form before code generation proceeds.</p>
