Sorry for the late reply (change of hardware), just
wanted to throw my 2-cents in there. The main problem
for SH3 hardware in the past has been glibc,
any version below glibc 2.3.4 for instance couldnt create
dynamic linked binaries.
My reference toolchain (= know it works) is based
on gcc 3.4.5 and glibc 2.3.5.
