Re: [Dev-C++] Where are gcc compiler and binutils sources?

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

If the MinGW compiler is a binary release directly from MinGW, then you
should look at www.mingw.org for sources. It is only if the compiler has
modified source that the supplier of the modified compiler must be ready
to supply the changed source too.

Since I normally don't install MinGW togeter with Dev-C++ but download and
install it separately, I can't say if Dev-C++ is distributed with a
modified compiler.
