Announcement: Unix PC cross compiler now on github

[Aharon Robbins]

Hello All.

Mike Haertel has revived an old version of GCC as a Linux
cross-compiler for the 3B1. It compiles a "hello world"
program that runs.

Details at https://github.com/mikehaertel/unixpc-gcc.

This should open up some nice software development possibilities
for FreeBee.

Enjoy,

Arnold

Wow, very interested to try this out. gcc 3.3.6 looks about 11 years newer than anything available in existing archives (e.g., gcc 2.5.8 on the caltech archive)

This is really cool and should allow for many improvements, such as with
the 3B1 Emulator (still in development).

I miss my 3B1.
