GCC has only ever supported Linux targets on Cell/B.E. I understand Sony has removed Linux support for PS3 a long time ago. (And in fact, I believe support for PS3 in general has run out this year.) Of course, there may be some people out there still running PS3 with old firmware that runs Linux. But they will then have to also use older GCC versions, sorry. (Unless, of course, somebody steps up and volunteers to take over the maintainance of the target.) Bye, Ulrich -- Dr. Ulrich Weigand GNU/Linux compilers and toolchain ulrich.weig...@de.ibm.com
