According to Stephan Duehr:

> I read that gpc 2.0 is for gcc 2.7.2.1. Is it difficult
> to make it work with 2.7.2.2?

I don't know, but you can do the following:

  * Some of the GPC source files contain a lot of "#ifdef GPC" constructs.
    (Mostly gpc-*.c.)  Find their GCC source counterparts.

  * See which of these files have changed from GCC-2.7.2.1 to GCC-2.7.2.2
    and apply the changes to the GPC source files.

  * Compile, and keep your fingers crossed.

  * Send us a diff with the necessary changes, so we can upgrade GPC from
    GCC-2.7.2.1 to GCC-2.7.2.2.  Please take the most recent (alpha)
    GPC source.
