MPW GCC hasn't been updated in a long time and unless someone pays
Cygnus to do it, it's unlikely to happen by itself.

However, I'm told by someone who has looked at sources and ancillary
files that Power Mac support is still part of the egcs source. The
major hindrange to building egcs for MPW is that many of the sed
scripts are broken and need fixing, and no-one I know has the time and
sed skills necessary to make things work again.

If someone on the MacPerl list has abundant sed experience (I'm told it
will not be a trivial task) and is willing to invest the time to make
egcs for MPW a reality, drop me a note.
