All:

I have posted release 2.0 of the ZGCC compiler suite on the community site:
http://community.zaurus.com/projects/zgcc/. My release note says:

This is the second release of ZGCC, the GNU compiler suite (2.95.2) for the
Zaurus ARM/Linux based PDAs. It will probably work on other ARM/Linux Qt
based systems. It is designed to be small, yet provide a complete C/C++ and
Qt GUI development system for on-board PDA program development. Release 2.0
provides new Qt development support and include files, GDB and other tools,
and smaller executables and library files. A new install scheme lowers the
administrative and system impact and the cramfs distribution greatly lowers
the storage footprint for those systems that can mount it on SD/MMC or
Ramdisk, but allows the distribution to be uncompressed to CF or Ramdisk
storage if desired.

The files are:
zgcc2Bin.cramfs - the binaries and libraries
zgcc2Inc.cramfs - the Embedix and Qt/E includes
zgcc2Install.html - install and usage instructions

Any feedback would be welcome. It should be usable on all Zaurii under all
the available operating systems -- if not, well I would like to hear about
it. It is based on gcc 2.95.2.

P. S. I am now at work on the promised documentation collection to go with
it.
