For now I give up. I've seen the same things. If you run it inside gdb (the ltib toolchain which you can download from Freescale's website after registering (at no cost) contains it; dunno whether you have that), you'll see that it catches its SIGBUS while in the PLT section. I suspect it's something similar to #327780, but haven't been able to investigate in-depth yet. If you feel like spending some time on this, a first good step would be to compare objdump -d output from a working binary and a broken one (the ltib stuff would seem to produce working binaries at first glance). > I wonder if anyone on the list has a bootstrap for coldfire with gcc > 3.4.x and -mcfv4e support.

Yeah, absolutely. In fact, in a Debian context, the "cross compiler thing" isn't "traditional" at all ;-) -- Fun will now commence -- Seven Of Nine, "Ashes to Ashes", stardate 53679.4 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
