Well AFAIK, there is no "later than 2.95.3", that is suitable. From previous discussions, 3.XX is not currently supported by GPC and 2.96 is a broken version of GCC, so 2.95.3 is "it" (since this version for DJGPP is not listed below, by implication there were no problems with it, so I expect Maurice will have a build available shortly:-).
BTW, I did notice at "http://www.distrowatch.com/debian.htm", that there exists also a GCC 2.95.4, but I have not heard anything about this version ...

ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/current/gpc-20011202.tar.g z
We consider this version the Release Candidate #1 for the upcoming GPC 2.1 release.
Many things have changed since the last announced version. (Please see the `Done' section of the To-Do list and the `News' chapter in the manual or on the homepage for details.)
Though many bugs have been fixed since the last version, there is still a number of known bugs left, some of which are longstanding issues that will take some time to be fixed. Therefore, according to a discussion in gpc@gnu.de, we have decided to make a 2.1 release now, anyway.
This version has been tested successfully (i.e., the test suite ran without failures -- except martin2a.pas and fjf434c.pas on some platforms which should have been moved to knownbugs, and will be further investigated before the final release) on the following systems:
i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1 (gcc-2.8.1) i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1 (gcc-2.95.3) i386-pc-msdosdjgpp (gcc-2.8.1) sparc-sun-solaris2.6 (gcc-2.95.2) mips-sgi-irix6.5 (gcc-2.95.2) alpha-dec-osf4.0b (gcc-2.95.3)
Test reports from other systems are welcome.
If you find new or especially important bugs, or very important missing features, let us know so we can perhaps fix them before 2.1.
Any major changes, however, will not be done in the 2.1 source tree, but rather in the next alpha versions leading to 2.2.
How about djgpp with gcc 2.95.3 (or later) ?

I haven't tested this particular configuration because I know that Maurice will do. :-) Though I don't expect problems here.

Matthias, the Debian maintainer of GPC told me that the CVS branch they use is labeled 2.95.4, but it's no official release. GPC with the 2.95.3 patches might work with it as well, but I didn't test it.

Only for my announcement mail? This may be because I sent it to gpc-announce@gnu.de which is bounced to this list (of course, it would be nice if it also worked in this case). Or doesn't it work for any mail? (I don't use this feature, so I can't tell.) You could check your list settings (the `help' command should explain how if you don't know) or set the reply-to flag again just in case. If you still have problems you can contact the list maintainer (gpc-owner@gnu.de).

Once I built it some time ago together with GPC. No serious testing done, but I didn't met any special problems.

No problem indeed: 0 errors in the test suite. It is uploaded as usual under the fixed link
ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/home/maurice/gpc2953b.zip
In the same directory there are files with -W2k in the name. They are compiled with pathed versions of libc and some other utilities (make bash). They are intended only for developpers who prepare the next djgpp version (2.04) which will work under W2000 and W-XP. Do not use with the regular djgpp tree (2.03).

I assume that is the new version, even though it has the identical name to the older one? How are we to keep track :-)

But what about 2.95.3? Franks listing above for DJGPP specifies 2.8.1, and I have 2.95.3 running here. Or am I misunderstanding something?
The reply-to is still working for me.

Maurice has already replied, but just to clarify: My listing was only of those platforms I've personally tested it on. I can't test every possible combination of CPU, OS and backend. This does not mean, of course, that other combinations are not expected to work -- quite the opposite in fact, as I hope my selection is rather representative (some 2.8.1, some 2.95.2 and some 2.95.3 backends, some 32 bit and one 64 bit, some little and some big endian CPUs, various Unix flavours and Dos).

gcc-2.95.4 is not released. One can grab current CVS sources of gcc-2_95 branch, build it for some target and it will say it is 'gcc-2.95.4 2001XXXX (prerelease)' (where XXXX is some date)
