Re: jade-1.1.1 on Linux glibc w/ EGCS 103a - Success anyone?

Some good news below on the issue; see the bottom:

Since then I have found out that Cees de Groot (the LinuxDoc
maintainer) is going to take up the UNIX maintainance of jade, and one 
of his goals is to make it use autoconf (yay!) and run with gcc-2.8
and egcs.
