According to Karl Heuer:
I need to build the latest gcc and gpc for a Deluxe Distribution. The current version of gcc is 2.7.2.3, but gpc-2.0 is expecting 2.7.2.1. I think 2.7.2.3 is nearly identical to 2.7.2.1, so maybe I can just change gpc's Makefile.in so that it expects 2.7.2.3. Do you know if this should work?
This works.
However the current beta version gpc-971001 is already much more stable than gpc-2.0; I hope that we will be able to release gpc-2.1 soon. You can get it from
ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/beta/gpc-971001.tar.gz

We don't normally put beta copies on GNU CD-ROMs, so I'll just do gpc-2.0 for now, until the 2.1 release is ready.
I just looked at this beta version. I see you've changed the build model to be more like g77. That's good; I can have my build script use some common code for g77 and gpc.
I notice that the patch file is named gcc-2.7.2.x.patch, though. In the g77 distribution, the suffix is ".diff", not ".patch". You might want to rename the file before the 2.1 release, to make it consistent with the g77 convention.
Also, in the file p/INSTALL, "seperate" should be spelled "separate".
