Hi Findly got around to compiling latest gpc: Using patch for 3.3.4, emit-rtl.c hunk #1 failed. Comiled using make bootstrap. test results: Unsuported: arerextest.pas # tests 4112 # expected pass 4111 # unsupported 1 Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.5/specs Configured with: ../gcc-3.3.5/configure --enable-languages=c,c++,pascal Thread model: posix gpc version 20041218, based on gcc-3.3.5 Thought you'd like to see some good news for a change.
