GCC compiler for CMS now available

[Dave Jones]

Folks, for those of you that would like to try the GCC compiler (Version 
3.2.3) in a CMS environment, an initial release is now available. The 
GCC compiler runs on any XA or ESA compliant
version of VM and requires a small run time library. The compiler 
produces standard ASSEMBLER code that is assembled by the High Level 
Assembler. This means that "C" programs which use only the ANSI "C" 
library can be compiled and run on any version of ESA and z/VM. The 
compiler uses only traditional CMS and CMS emulated MVS system calls and 
so is an "almost" native GCC.

Instructions on how to download and install it can be found here:

Suggestions for enhancements and improvements, especially in the run 
time support, are welcome.

Enjoy!
