New? This is unbelievable... Where on earth these broken GCC versions
pop up from...

Only GCC versions 2.3.3 and 2.5.8 of pre 2.3.x are fully working.
Some people also claim 2.4.5 version to work.

If you'll install Knarf's German MiNT Distrib Kit, you'll get upto
date programs and a full 'unix' system.

For GEM, the GEM reference manuals... GEMlib doesn't have any enhance-
ments so that might be a bit of a pain though. I'm not sure whether
Enhanced GEM works with GCC (anybody?). It would be very nice one
to use, but unfortunately has documentation only in german :-(.

For C I recommend some C programming book, the ST-Guide file about
C-lib that comes with SozobonX (ANSI C functions), MiNTLib header
files, a GCC ST-Guide file on ftp.funet.fi:/pub/atari/hypertext/
and some TeX file about older GCC/MiNT functions should also be
available on the sites. If you'll use Emacs or Info, you can get
a lot if info from the normal GNU sites...
