I'm assuming you meant SDK 3.0 or 3.1, as there has never been SDK 3.3?

Note that you don't have to use Palm's "prc-tools-2.0" in order to use their
SDK 3.5. SDK 3.5 should work out of the box with my prc-tools-0.6.0beta or with
some trivial directory rearrangement with prc-tools-0.5.0 or even prc-tools-
0.4.x.

Unfortunately, the current versions of PalmOS gcc are busted in that although
they support multiple code segments, there is absolutely no way to have more
than 32 KB in a single segment. (This applies equally to Palm's / John
Marshall's version and to my prc-tools-0.6.0beta as the latter currently uses
the problematic toolchain from the former for the lack of anything better.) I
am, however, actively working on remedying this by developing a new toolchain
that will impose no 32 KB limit on segment sizes or locality of reference.
