Fortran is present in the FSF gcc tree though, and should be working fine. Here are test results from a couple of days ago off the gcc3 branch: == g77 Summary = # of expected passes 904 # of unexpected failures 9 # of untested testcases 6 # of unsupported tests 8 This is very close to the x86 testsuite results. >Oh, and the linux-ia64 website and cygnus FTP site are still down... Is this >normal? Yes, the cygnus ftp site is still down. It has been down for over a week, and I still don't have any estimate for when it will be back up. At this point though, I don't think it really matters anymore. I'd been planning for a while to phase out the last compiler release in favor of gcc3. I may as well use the ftp site problems to effect the change. If you still need the old compiler, you can get source RPMS from Red Hat, Suse, Turbolinux, etc. Meanwhile, gcc3 is still not stable enough for building distributions, but it should be stable enough for most development work.
