However, more and more recent C++ software requires gcc/g++ 3 to be compiled, and currently (with my patches) it does not work. If anyone is interested, the preliminary patches for binutils and gcc are mon my site, but considered non-working. I would like some help to fix that. binutils 2.15 for example does not create the translation table in the binary, so all relocated addresses still point to NULL. I know gcc 3 maybe more memory hungry and slower than current 2.95, but having recent tools is needed to port recent software, specially when cross-compiling. -- Patrice Mandin WWW: http://membres.lycos.fr/pmandin/ Programmeur Linux, Atari Spécialité: Développement, jeux
