Profiling is not supported. Constructors and destructors are not working (yet). There is only a crude simulator setup for 32-bit Linux/x86. Code+data+stack is limited to 64 kB, but can relatively easily be increased to 64 kB code + 64 kB data+stack. > 2) Public Use : Has some version been released for public use? No. I will submit it no later than next week[1] if nothing unforseen happens. > Digging through the archives, I found some links which I presume do > not reflect the updated information > http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/16bit/gcc/ .Any information on the same > would be of great help. That is another 16-bit x86 attempt. There is mention of a third one on the list: <URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2005-12/msg00642.html>. [1] I.e.
