Felt like they deserved to be called out since they did all the heavy lifting of actually getting a working compiler, in the dark ages of the project when it wasn't clear if it was actually going to be a feasible amount of effort or not...

Anyway, I have compiled binaries on my system. Once I've completed testing and got WPILib up and running I'll post the results. They will be targeted at debian unstable aka testing aka wheezy, but they should be fine on any deb-based distro, and alien might work for rpm-based distros (which can of course still do a manual build).

Everything should be ready for release NLT Saturday, so if you want to play around with it there should be plenty of time during build season to do so

Not meaning to thread-jack, but do you mind sharing where you got the source for WPILib without installing WindRiver Workbench? The SVN repository doesn't seem to allow for anonymous access and everything I've found telling people how to get source assumes that you have a working WindRiver installation, and I don't have a Windows machine readily available to set that up.
