Great. Now if gcc will only settle down :-) How far is the whole system now from full inclusion in gcc and simtel distribution?
major new chunks of code are added only on the HEAD branch, if it's in stage 1 of the release schedule (http://gcc.gnu.org/develop.html).
So, if you want to do some work on this, you may want to check the bib-3.4-branch (basic improvements branch, which will become HEAD after the gcc-3_3-branch forks) and try to build gpc against this version. Stage 1 usually is a two-month period, the one for 3.4 probably beginning in late December. If you miss this, gpc won't be in gcc-3.4 and has to wait for gcc-3.5.
In the past, there has been lack of interest, lack of resources and IIRC some disappointment how or if at all patches are getting merged into gcc.
So if this merge will ever happen, someone has to bite the bullet to work on the unstable gcc ...
