Ah, so I will try that to build my next cross-compiler. Last time I tried toolchain-source, it didn't work well (cfr. what I submitted to Debian's BTS). > up.

Or no Mac, and just a fast cross-compiler box, also running a virtual m68k machine in ARAnyM :-) Gr{oetje,eeting}s, Geert -- Geert Uytterhoeven -- There's lots of Linux beyond ia32 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker.
