- Maybe it would be useful, but I'm afraid that the amount of work required
- would be tremendous. Not only the work to port it, but also to maintain it
- in future.

- Maintainers of Amiga port of GNU programs try to make only absolutely
- necessary modification to baseline FSF sources - to make maintaining
- easier and, maybe in future, to merge Amiga-specific patches into baseline
- FSF sources. I'm almost sure that people in FSF or Cygnus would refuse to
- accept hundreds of kilobytes of patches for the sake of support of (let's
- face it) as unimportant platform as Amiga.
-
- However, if you volunteered to make such modification to libg++ and to
- maintain them in future, I don't think anyone would object. Just join
- ade-gcc@ninemoons.com mailing list and ask there.
