I tried to build a newer one but got stuck (crosstool seems no longer
maintained, that's what I used last time). Then the disk with all the m68k stuff
on it died. I've found some info on Ubuntus bug pages on getting 4.4 to build as
cross compiler, I'll try again using that for starters.

But for the polled interrupt kludge I agree. Last time I checked the interrupt
to use for the EtherNAT is beyond what we currently reserve in the Atari
interrupt map, so I'd have to change the max number of interrupts - what are the
repercussions for doing this?
