This is the Debian GNU/Linux prepackaged version of the GCC compiler collection,
containing C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran-77, Java, Chill and Pascal compilers,
and the libstdc++ support library. The EGCS steering comittee became
maintainer of the GNU gcc compiler suite in March 1999.

The compilers are split into several binary packages: gcc (which
has support for C, g++ (which supports C++), gobjc (which supports
Objective C), g77 (supports Fortran), gcj (supports Java), chill (supports
Chill) and gpc (supports standard, extended and Borland Pascal).
A version of libstdc++-v2 and libg++ are also provided.
Documentation is provided in the packages gcc-doc, g77-doc and gpc-doc.

This package was put together by the Debian GCC maintainers
<gcc@packages.debian.org>, with sources obtained from:
