- Major problem with GCC and the Macintosh -- the Free Software Foundation
- refuses to have anything to do with a port to this series of machines due
- to the stance of Apple Computer's legal department with regard to things
- like "Look and Feel".

- You may very well port GCC, just don't expect your work to be incorporated
- or supported in any way by the FSF.
