gcc 3.0.2 is officially released by the FSF. We have been using it for
building both kernel and user space apps for some time. While there are
still some occasional bugs, in general it seems to be working well.
afaik the 3.x compilers are the only ones available for parisc-linux.
There are no 2.9x compilers for this platform.
