please, Please, PLEASE do NOT send mail to rms, asking when a release
of any GNU software will be done.  It will only slow the release (in
this case, gcc 1.36).  We at the GNU Project do the best we can to get
software done well, quickly.  Mail asking for it (and there is an
incredible amount) just wastes our time and slows things down.
Your patience is a significant contribution to the project.

Note that the project's inquiry address is:
	gnu at prep.ai.mit.edu 

|As for the other programs in the suite, we do have gdb and gas in the queue,

|We have no plans to do g++.

Granted ports of gcc, gdb, and gld, porting the g++ system isn't that hard.
