They are still alive. Andros, for example, provides Fedora crosscompiler regulary. He also has GCC 4.7.2 available. Native (DJGPP) versions are usually also available on DJGPP ftp mirrors too.

While I haven't (yet) had luck in getting it to work on the distribution I am using, I follow it from time to time. But, I'm close. The biggest problem is that the patches are scattered all around. I have to decipher Red Hat spec file to turn it into something I can use. And, I also don't have much experience with crosscompilers ATM. That's a bit of problem too. :)

LibC is unfortunatelly only somewhat active in CVS. But Rugxulo is following that much more closely than I am and he might know more.
