Dan,

handy here.

Um...er...questions like that make me feel a bit thick.  See, this year I
was an mcore guy.  I'm a powerpc guy NEXT year, and in my "free time" I'll
learn how to be a ColdFire guy.

On the positive side, I can send you my script if you want to try it out.
At least I know how my own script works.  I didn't want to just use Bill's
Wonderful Script because I didn't understand it, so I read Mendel Cooper's
ABS guide and wrote a new one from scratch.

When I get back to my desk on Monday I'll look at the test logs.  I suspect
the fails will be due to the cross compiler, not the native one, but then
what do I know?

As an aside, I'm using Mandrake 9.0.  The native gcc-3.2 that comes with it
doesn't work on the powerpc-eabi build, and it crashes with an internal
compiler error.  I installed the earlier gcc-2.96 that came with Mandrake
8.1, and it works OK.

Cheers,
Brian
