Of course the changes for SVR4 to LinuxPPC are fairly minimal (change crt files and -D macros if I recall). -- Michael Meissner, Cygnus Solutions PMB 198, 174 Littleton Road #3, Westford, Massachusetts 01886 email: meissner@cygnus.com phone: 978-486-9304 fax: 978-692-4482 ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
