No maintainer/contact address is to be seen, so...

- Please include a section on required releases of ancilliary software
  (e.g., binutils, gdb), I gather many problems discussed on other fora are
  due to problems in this area.

- Please repeat (or move) the FD_ZERO stuff to platform-specific (this is
  Linux-on-ia32-specific only)

- You state that process.c might ICE for recent kernels. In my experience,
  this has been fixed, at least I haven't seen problems lately (I'm using
  egcs snapshots + binutils-2.9.1.0.19a + glibc-2.1 snapshots almost
  exclusively on my home i586/UP machine)

- egcs 1.1.1 and snapshots seem to work fine (can't really give them a
  full beating ;-) with the current crop of 2.2.0-preX and 2.2.0-preX-acY
  kernels on ia32, the problems with invalid asm()s have been ironed out
  lately.

Thank you very much!
