The first of two coordinated patches is now out, posted to alt.sources.
The second will come after lunch.

In fact, the gas patch works relative to gas 1.35 as well, and we just built
GCC 1.37.1 with no changes to the GCC patch.

Fixed. Perl 3.0pl15 compiled with gcc -O now passes all tests.  Guess what
has just become my default compiler ?

There was adequate interest.  You don't need to mail me anymore if all
you want to do is express interest.

There was also some call for a binary distribution.  I am not on the Internet,
and e-mail costs from Britain to anywhere else is prohibitively high.

Those who are _desperate_ may mail me a single 1.2 Mb floppy WITH AN EXTRA
SELF-ADDRESSED MAILER ENCLOSED, and I'll stick a binary distribution on
it and send it back to you by return of post (aren't I nice).

I would also be interested to hear if you could provide Internet and/or
anon UUCP homes for the both patch and binary distributions in your
respective countries so I can refer people to you.

To quote Len,

Enjoy!
