There are <a href="http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=80875">comments on</a> one of the Amiga communities most popular forums by a Olaf Barthel, a developer who modernised a more complete version of the 3.x source code. He relates that you need several different C compilers for different parts of the OS, from one that needs to run on a Sun OS to various Amiga-based compilers (Aztec/Manx). |

Here's the quote:
> Like kamelito already said: this stuff hasn't been leaked now, it's been leaked in the late nineties. Rumors have it that Tyschtschenko handed out the sources to a whole bunch of people in Germany (in addition to Phase5, which already had them) to make sure they don't get lost during the next bankruptcy.
> These sources were all over the warez boards in 1997 or 1998.
> It's the original 3.1 sources from Commodore, they require quite an exotic setup to compile (an obscure SunOS/Solaris based Cross-Compiler amongst other things, IIRC), Olaf Barthel had to spend quite a few hours to make them compile/assemble with modern tools before they could be used as the base for OS 3.5+.
Heh.

I love this one from further on in the thread:
> AmigaOS is not designed and implemented in a manner which would facilitate testing.

Also, HN (Arc) doesn't use HTML, and got completely confused by the URL.
