   From: rms (Richard M. Stallman)大胡子老头 自由软件之父 

   The GNU C compiler is now available for ftp from the file
   /u2/emacs/gcc.tar on prep.ai.mit.edu（地址有效，但没有最早的源码文件）. 
   This includes machine descriptions for vax and sun, 
   60 pages of documentation on writing machine descriptions
   (internals.texinfo, internals.dvi and Info file internals).

   This also contains the ANSI standard (Nov 86) C preprocessor and 30
   pages of reference manual for it.

   This compiler compiles itself correctly on the 68020 and did so
   recently on the vax.  It recently compiled Emacs correctly on the
   68020, and has also compiled tex-in-C and Kyoto Common Lisp.
   However, it probably still has numerous bugs that I hope you will
   find for me.

   I will be away for a month, so bugs reported now will not be
   handled until then.

   If you can't ftp, you can order a compiler beta-test tape from the
   Free Software Foundation for $150 (plus 5% sales tax in
   Massachusetts, or plus $15 overseas if you want air mail).
