Hi Jim. The last several OSKit snapshots have had this blurb in the README:
> 2) Software: native build environment for either Linux or FreeBSD.

I seem to remember that you picked up the lastest snapshot, right? That was
the Valentines Day snapshot.
We used gcc 2.95 (not .1 or .2) for a while, and aside from compiler bugs
that forced us to go to 2.95.2 when it arrived, it worked just fine. That
may still be the case, but watch out for those compiler bugs!
Give it a whirl and see what happens ...
