Yes, I realize that this is somewhat inappropriate for this newsgroup,
but the "C" newsgroup is huge, the postings are usually dealing with
C problems and solutions, and I get a better turn around from here.
In any event, I am running Solaris 2.3 on a Sparc and, as you may
know, Solaris does not come bundelled with a C compiler.  I still
find that VERY hard to believe...Unix without C?!?!?  Anyway, I
digress.

I remember reading of a Gnu "gcc" compiler that someone with the
C compiler on Solaris had created that included the first-pass
kernel, thus making it possible for those of us without C to
compile GCC.  I need to know where I can find it.

Please email responses, as I need to know as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Darrell
