Bear in mind, of course, that being the work-in-progress version of gcc, it could have new and exciting bugs that you haven't come across before, and that one day's version might work when the next day's doesn't, so there may be a bit of trial and error here. If you're going to muck around with the latest snapshots, I'd seriously recommend that you subscribe to the main gcc development mailing list, so you can see if people are discussing any current bugs in the arm-elf support, and keep track of when things break and when they get fixed again. >Unfortunately I can not access the CVS repository (work won't open up any >ports on the firewall). You could always take a baseball bat to your sysadmin. That is taking security to a pointless level that merely impedes the users' work flow, impairs the functionality of the network, and doesn't provide any extra security unless your sysadmin believes his network to be infested with backdoor trojans that might try to phone home on the port used by the CVS protocol, in which case he should be busy disinfecting the workstations rather than trying to stop them opening outgoing connections. Refusing to allow an outgoing connection from one well defined machine (yours) to one well defined remote server (gcc.gnu.org) on one specific port suggests that your sysadmin doesn't know what he's doing and isn't competent to evaulate the level of security risk posed by different network activities, or perhaps merely that he hasn't read the firewall manual and can't be bothered to. >Can anyone point me in the direction of a snapshot or mail me a copy? From the UK, the quickest source of the weekly snapshots is ftp://sunsite.org.uk/Mirrors/sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/gcc/snapshots the most recent version appears to be 2001-07-16 according to the README file in that dir.
