I saw the binary for djgpp 2.8.1, but at 8MB, if I download it, I want to make sure I can run it on my computer (and who knows? Maybe someone else on the list is wondering as well). Does anyone know if DJGPP 2.8.x runs on a 486? If so, does it also compile 486 code (I don't mean optimization tho, just whether or not it'll compile 486 binaries)? Thanks in advance!
See ya! Orlando Llanes

You can be "sure" that it will run on your computer even if it has a 386. You can *not* be sure that gpc-980401 will compile with the gcc-2.8.1 source code without any change.

It does, and it can opimize specifically for the 486 (or 386) while the generated code will still run on all processors of that family. See `info -f gcc -n "i386 Options"'.
