I dowloaded these patches and compared the resulted configuration to the Cygnus one (e.g. those with Cygwin Rel.18). These two were quite different as a first look... When looking at the available Cygnus config files for 'm68k-elf': 'config/m68k/m68kelf.h', 'config/m68k/m68020-elf.h', 'config/elfos.h' etc., they all said that they are 'freely distributable' using GPL... So, why this 'reinventing the wheel' method was needed? Why not just use the 'CYGNUS LOCAL' configuration settings as the base? Ok, it's sad that these aren't included with gcc or egcs sources and need some spying of Cygnus CDK sources... Cheers, Kai PS. I built my 'i386-elf' and 'm68k-elf' compilers using the Cygnus config files (some macros must be updated for egcs-1.1 from the gcc-2.7.2 level). ________________________________________________ To get help for the crossgcc list, send mail to crossgcc-request@cygnus.com with the text 'help' (without the quotes) in the body of the message.
