Gerald, you've jumped to a false conclusion there; "was hijacked" should read "has bitrotted". "Hijacked" is a pejorative term, and also historically and factually inaccurate. Objsw.com maintained the FAQ initially, but some time ago (around 2001 off the top of my head) it became clear that it had fallen into disrepair, and Bill Gatliff, who was then and is now an active and valuable contributing member of the crossgcc community, volunteered to take it over. He then actively maintained it for several years and it was only when his website got hacked and wiped out sometime last year that the link became out of date. He has been slow in getting his website rebuilt and hasn't put the FAQ back up yet; which is why I've Cc'd him in on this thread. Bill, you need to make your intentions clear as to whether you are able and willing to resume your maintainance duties. Are you going to get the crossgcc FAQ back up there? If not, probably the best thing to do would be to replace the paragraph with a reference to the mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and to Dan Kegel's crosstool and the related website. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today....
