Probably, but I’d rather get them integrated into FSF code if at all possible. Otherwise, I _can_ try to get them into the Debian packages (properly separated, etc.), but it’s preferable to have it upstream (so GCC can fix it if needed, etc). > I once asked to the binutils mailing list if I could contribute the MiNT > patches upstream, they told me that the original author had to fill the forms.

The full MiNT toolchain (binutils + GCC + MiNTLib + > PML)? I’ve got no idea. Nobody seems to know, and there seems to be no documentation what is needed, where or how to get/make it. I think binutils and gcc and the flags utility at least. No idea whether more is needed. (With the Debian hat on, real MiNT also is not my interest, similar to you. The unpatched source code of atari-bootstrap uses an m68k-tos-gcc where I can find even less information of.) If I work on it, I’d like to work from unmodified Debian sources if at all possible, so I’d be trying to get the “regular” way of https://wiki.debian.org/BuildingCrossCompilers to work for these. Maybe even upload the packages, if doko agrees. bye, //mirabilos -- In traditional syntax ' is ignored, but in c99 everything between two ' is handled as character constant.
