Now to compile pre1....

Yes, please. But while compiling - let's get this "-s" to work to
reduce the binary size. I can't believe that MacOSX is failing here.

What I meant about uploading is a tarball of ncurses 5.2, not a build of pre1. What is the ftp address again?

However, at last gcc (2.9.5 based) is available for Mac OS X, I am downloading the source right now. So hopefully it will support stripping.

Also equally exciting is it has "partly working" support for the AltiVec unit. Code _can_ run several magnitudes faster compiled with AltiVec support...

gcc simply passes the "-s" switch to the linker ("ld"). If the MacOS X
linker doesn't support "-s", installing gcc won't help. Installing GNU
binutils might.
