Ah, now it becomes a little clearer. So this Cygnus gcc version
corresponds more or less to egcs-1.1.1 (wich became gcc-2.9[01])?
For an StrongARM target, may I safely use the vanilla gcc-2.95.3 patched
with ecos-gcc-2952.patch from the Red Hat website (the reload1.c chunk
removed since it seems 2.95.3 includes a fix for this), or should I
better use a pre-2.95.4 CVS snapshot?
