the current system uses ar and nm and ld directly. the first two could be moved to partial linking so there's only ld and cc, but i don't know if you can do partial linking with gcc easily. obviously stripping would still need to be sep, but i think stripping isn't done by default, so that isn't a big deal. feel free to post a patch to move in that direction. > but perhaps > there's a way to use -dumpmachine and determine if the results are > native or cross, and automatically search out the rigth tools based on > that. err, no, this would be a bad fragile system -mike
