Ultimately, the "upstream" (such that it is) binary packages include them last I checked, so I figured I would as well. Same with the newlib headers.

That's a good idea! My only thought is I don't actually know many developers doing C++ on embedded, but I like the idea of being able to get the complete toolchain. An additional question, since I've moved to setting the '--prefix=%{_prefix}/%{target}' on configure, I've needed to add a matching '-B/usr/bin/msp430-elf-' to any Makefile using the resulting compiler. Would setting the program prefix, instead of adding the prefix with my symlinks, fix this? One final question, do I need to run add a check step? They used to not work, but I think they do now. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
