I am looking for the GNU C or C++ compiler for an AT. Can someone tell me what the latest version is and where I can get it ? Thanks. -- ! Tim Liddelow | <insert standard disclaimer> ! !

in GNU C's documentation is said
: GNU CC and Portability
: **********************
:
: The main goal of GNU CC was to make a good, fast compiler for
: machines in the class that the GNU system aims to run on: 32-bit
: ^^^^^^
: machines that address 8-bit bytes and have several general registers.
: Elegance, theoretical power and simplicity are only secondary.
Since 80286 is 16-bit processor AT is 16-bit machine, it seems that there is
no GNU C for ATs. (There are two for 386 PCs, but that's different).
