So, maybe that would be an issue or confusing to users. We can add it to that package, if you think that's better. But I also wrote this in my original email: [..] :: But because we aren't updating any original IA-16 GCC packages, it :: keeps things clean at the expense of a little extra "overhead" for the :: package. But if you're installing a C compiler, you likely can spare :: the tiny extra space. ..so I thought it might be nice not to "pollute" TK Chia's IA-16 GCC release with these two files. And we already have several other packages that are part of IA-16 GCC, adding this one didn't seem like a lot of overhead. But ultimately it doesn't matter to me if it gets merged into the https://gitlab.com/FreeDOS/devel/i16gcc package or stays separate.
