Yup; we still have a Phytec board laying around somewhere in the lab, but we never managed to do anything useful with it, because at the time we started, there was no CodeSourcery activity visible wrt. gcc, and the freescale stuff was not usable. > The latest GCC release 4.2.1 doesn't include some very hot changes for > these CPU cores yet.

Then I would go the patch way; what you can also do is make a big patch from gcc-4.2-latest to CVS as of some date, and start from there. > GLibC Ports 2.6.1 seems to support these latest GCC improvements > already.

However, I cannot remember the reason; would be good to have a look at the code. Looks like you are doing some serious work on that. I can give you rw access to the repository, so you could check the config into the trunk. If you want to, please send me an encrypted mail with your favourite svn password. Robert -- Dipl.-Ing.
