Point your ftpclient at
ftp.ninemoons.com/pub/geekgadgets/amiga/m68k/snapshots/current/bin/
The files you want should come from there. (I'm talkin egcs here cos it's
better thatn gcc) You will need more than just the egcs package though -
the BOOT.lha file in the parent dir will let you unpack the tgz, and you
will need ixemul and some other packages would be useful as well (make,
pdksh, fileutils, shutils, binutils and just about everything else ;)
