Hi Pete, Julius,

Excellent progress. Thanks for all the detail.

It might be worth running regression against your binutils first. Just
in case you have a ld or gas issue that is causing any compiler
problems.

I'm snowed under by the day job, but look forward to trying it out
before too long. How are you getting on with mirroring this into the
gnu-dev SVN on OpenRISC?

Good luck. Keep up the hard work.

Best wishes,
