Oh, yes. I understand that many of the program are working. The
confusing part is that the GCC for libgnuc is not on the master site.
I got the beezer files and am trying, again, to configure a machine
that I can use to recompile packages.

There is another GCC out. 2.7.2.2? I forget the new number.
Linux-Alpha there?

Sounds like a job for the debian master site.

I've beein trying to get to azstarnet and gatekeeper.dec.com. Neither
is running. Are there mirrors of their resources? I checked redhat
and a few other likely places, but didn't come up with anything.
