Has anybody ported the GNU C compiler to run under V? Has anybody done
any work to make the C compiler generate faster code or understand 68020
instructions. In short, is there any better C compiler than the one that
went out with 6.0? I was hoping that somebody else had done the legwork,
otherwise we may do it here.
I've been off the air for a while, so I haven't been keeping up on what's
going to change with version 7.0. Is it a complete rewrite or are just parts
getting changed? Our kernel and libraries are so heavily modified that I
doubt we'll bring 7.0 up, but I'd like to know what's been added/sped up so
that we can decide if it'll be worthwhile.
Thanks,

I have V6.0 sources (got it in the summer of '86). The sun2 (m68k) version
of cc68 is full of bugs. We spent a whole semester to make cc68 work on
our sun2 (unix version still not working because there are libraries missing).
I wonder if V7.0 could make life a little easier for us.
By the way I am really glad that we finally has this news board set up.

Since this is about articale #5 for this group, could someone post a description/summary/etc. of "V" When I saw the newsgroup activation message, I thought it might by System-V, but "V6.0 and V7.0" seem to prove that wrong!
