Subject: C++ and Gnu on a PC

Bill Winder wants to compile Gnu C++ on a PC under a *NIX* OS. He could,
in theory. The Gnu C++ configuration files do have the details for
compiling on a 386 platform, and of course all Gnu stuff compiles well
on the Sun 386i machine. But I suspect a 8086 or 80286 machine might present
problems.

Gnu C could be adapted for any machine code set in theory. It really depends
on how much time you have, and how well you understand your chip.
