Ive noticed that FSF GNU doesn support A/UX. Does that mean Ill miss out on all the neat GNU-stuff like gcc?
Although it’s true that FSF is “boycotting” Apple and A/UX (FSF doesn’t like Apple’s predisposition of suing to protect “look and feel”), ports of most GNU applications are available. GCC version 2.7.2 for A/UX has been ported (by Jim Jagielski, based on previous ports by John Coolidge) and is available… Highly recommended! As a nice complement to using GCC, gdb (4.9) is also available. For more info about gcc for A/UX, please contact Jim via e-mail. Sadly, the archive at wuarchive.wustl.edu has been removed, and now contains only Linux-related material. However, the GNU goodies are still available on ftp.geo.tu-freiberg.de and www.nleymann.de. Scott Kanne also hosts some of these at aux-penelope.com.

Of particular interest is gcc version 2.7.2 which has been ported by Jim Jagielski (based on previous ports by John Coolidge and is available via anon-ftp on wuarchive.wustl.edu in systems/aux/gnu.
