Is it possible to use a similar scheme to sparc64? They use an egcs version targetted to sparc64-linux rather than 'just sparc-linux'. Also, binutils support was needed to allow sparc64 handle the sparc32 binaries, etc (the patch was mostly to allow a sparc32-targetted binutils to handle sparc64 binaries and linking). Also, I'm assuming the proper support was added to the dynamic linker, correct? Does your current scheme include a different binutils as well? I may be able to make a patch that does the same thing for HPPA as the sparc one does for that platform... C
