These tools are considered stable and recommeded - at least before Ralf shows his latest toys. :-0 1. binutils 2.8.1 2. egcs 1.0.3a 3. glibc 2.0.6 The ftp site is ftp.mvsiat.com:/pub/Area51/ddb-5476/ Hopefully before the end of this weekend, there will a little more updated release with a new name prefix, some bug fixes and for both little endiand and big endian. The current one is for little endian. If you know how to use rpm, you can create your own big-endian tools pretty easily. Jun
