Sure did, but only about a week ago. It works like a champ. Be sure to
do the following:

1) get a good sed -- build one against the latest libc or grab the binary
from azstarnet. The sed package includes bad regex code, and old libc's
did as well.
2) get the latest binutils - try compiling a stub program with -O -g. If
the final program core dumps, upgrade!

Of course, this would be a lot easier if you wanted to use the binaries
I precompiled :-) I'm just about finished with Red Hat/AXP BETA, and it'll
be available on CD and via ftp within the next two weeks. I'm waiting
on Red Hat's T1 to be available (the wiring has already been done) before
I make it ftpable though. An announcement covering all of this is
forthcoming.
