Hello egcs community:

Happy to see that the egcs mailing lists are so active!

* I may have missed important announcements...
  Could someone please clarify the current status of egcs
  regarding template repository (-frepo ?), future plans, documentation.

Some suggestions an thoughts:

* Let us have a web-<Search> function with the archives of the mailing lists.

* How about reviving the old idea of pre-compiled headers.

* The pain of C++ linkage.
  Currently it is impossible to link C++ objects that are compiled
  with different compilers. Reasons being: 
     * name-mangling schemes
     * virtual table implementations
     * static initialization methods.
     * ??
  
  Now, on platforms where the native compilers (Solaris' SunPro CC?)
  has a published object implementation, is it possible for g++ to have
  an option to compile an object that will be linkable with 'native objects'?
