Has anyone been successful doing this? I get personal
e-mail almost weekly from people either using gcc 2.x.x.x,
which we all know is incorrect, or having problems building
a cross egcs. I use only egcs tools natively on LinuxPPC
machines, so I have no suggestions other than that.

I found a couple of minor bugs in 2.1.129 when I build it
for the MPC8xx. Cort said he fixed them in 2.1.130, so
I would start with the latest vger CVS sources.

That's it.

The original port was done on the MBX860 board, so that
always seems to work. I have recently finished some 823/850
stuff and realized the configuration needs lots of work, so
I am doing that right now. The major changes include
moving most of the CONFIG_MBX to generic CONFIG_8xx,
uart/serial driver configuration, the Ethernet configurable
on any SCC, and boot code changes. I have one more board
to port next week, and I will dump the changes on Cort :-).
In my spare time I am trying to port the latest USB software
to the 850. Anyone else interested, let me know.
