Re: GNU compiler for 68360 and 820 cpus

I've used the 68322 and I've heard of other people using the far more
common 68302. In these cases, the processor was just a 68EC0x0 with some
on-chip devices. The ``EC'' just means that there is more on the chip then
the CPU. MIPS and i960s are often like this as well. Check with your
documentation, I suspect this is the case for you.

I haven't shipped anything compiled with a commercial compiler in years.
There was initially some misunderstanding with my previous employer that
was easily cleared up. My current employer doesn't ask silly questions.
(They do ask pertinent questions, by the way.)

Maybe you can get your management to buy a Cygnus compiler for you:-)
