i'll be switching the Blackfin toolchain to the binary one, so there would be testing on both sides if you wanted to keep the uclinux.org side cautious for a little while. if no one complains, we flip the default configure option. if still no one complains, we drop it. > Other thans Johns comments about 'C' not being ideal for scripting, which > I agree, I am mostly ok.
