First thank you for the answers to my questions.
if there is no manager assigned for the GCC development I would like to take the part of the project manager for GCC. The aim is to coordinate, structure and speed up the GCC development.
I would like to structure the development, possibly find new developers who want to join, assign task to finish GCC 10, enhance library support and improve public exposure. The aim is to have a GCC developer team.
I think that GCC is one of the most important applications for RISC OS as it is the main tool to port open source application to RISC OS. It is also the only C++ compiler for RISC OS. So GCC is one of the most important tools for RISC OS and should not be neglected by the RISC OS community.
To accomplish this we need:
1. clarify the status of different parts of GCC 10
2. discover what needs to be finished
3. discover what is not implemented yet
4. discover what additional libraries or tools should be added
5. discuss alternative stragedies about sharedlibrary, unixlib etc.
6. decide what tools or infrastructure are needed ( for example Github, Redmine, forum etc.)
I don't see a mailing list as very effcient tool to discuss and find solutions as it is very unstructured.
I propose to use my new developer forum www.riscosdevforum.com to discuss specific solutions or tasks.
But it might be helpful to have a zoom meeting as startup to know each other better and discuss openly what are the options or problems.
Facilitate porting open source applications:
Detect which libraries are used most and port/adopt them to RISC OS.
Task force: assign developers to port libraries
To save cost I can offer also my servers to host the current GCC content. This service I can offer at least for the next 10 years.
Please let me know who is willing to join or if there are any objections.
This is just a proposal and open for discussion!
Some infos about my person if you don't know me already.
I am Stefan Fröhling, German and 53 years old. I have studied mechanical engineer and international project management
I was active in RISC OS world 25 years ago with my former company Evolution computer and we produced the first IDE interface for the Acorn Archimedes A3000/A3xx. The design was made by my friend and programmer Peter Szymanski. I also distributed the 3D editor and raytracer Merlin. My programing skills include BASIC, PHP, Pascal, ARM assembler and HMTL. I made recently a crowdfunding at Kickstarter with title Cloverleaf RISC OS with cooperation with Andrew Rawnsley from RComp. I have currently two programmers programming in RISC OS. They produced the instant messenger !ChatCube that is is available for free from my website riscoscloverleaf.com.

What am I doing wrong? I downloaded gcc4_7_4-rel5 and when I tried to
use it I got the error message Unable to locate GOT of client. The same
source files compiled with gcc4_7_4-rel3-1.

That's not a lot to go on. Can you post whatever command(s) you are trying
to run and their output?
(GOT = global offset table, suggesting a problem to do with linking - either
in the compiler or when running a dynamically linked binary)
Theo
