+This would have gone out last week, but our news machine was down.  My
+apologies ......
+
+I had a look at gcc-1.40 over the weekend, and now have it running on both
+68k and 386.  Enclosed below are the relevant patches.
+
+Instructions for use:
+
+(a).  You must have an existing version of gcc on your system.  If you
+      havn't, get one from plains.  I havn't attempted to bootstrap 1.40
+      with anything other than gcc, so if you want to try it you are on your
+      own.  You'll need gas and gld from plains anyway.
+
+(b).  Get a virgin copy of gcc-1.40 from your favourite GNU archive site.
+
+(c).  Unpack the patches below - this is a uuencoded 13-bit compressed tar
+      archive.
+
+(d).  Copy the xm* and tm* files into gcc-1.40/config, and the conf* files 
+      into gcc-1.40.
+
+(e).  Apply the patches - all the files ending in .cd are cdiffs.
+
+(f).  Don't run config.gcc, but use conf.minix68k or conf.minix386 as
+      appropriate for your system.
+
+(g).  Hit "make" and wait.  On a 33MHz 386 compilation will take about 30
+      minutes.  On an Atari ST expect several hours (!).
+
+I strongly suggest using stage1 and stage2 as per the INSTALL instructions
+with the gcc sources.  On the ST, gcc passed the (stage2 == stage3) test with
+no problems.  On the 386 I needed an extra iteration for some non-obvious
+reason.  The 386 version has successfully compiled mm and fs for a running
+kernel - I havn't had the chance to try the 68k version yet.
+
+Enjoy.
