Yes using the crosstool however prior to that I had a rather painful
experience attempting to build it all up myself based on gcc 2.95
ultimately resulting in deciding DENX had done a better job (they seem
pretty good if you want to buy support too) than I had so...

Previously used DENX toolchain which was based upon gcc 2.95.

Editors - mostly emacs on various platforms with a little vi.
Tools - mostly gnu tools on Powerbook laptop running Debian although
also cross toolchain on Intel GNU/Linux. Xygwin and some Xilinx.
Debuggers - gdb and xmd mostly. Some custom stuff too.

You can send it to me if you want to :-).

Scripts and some stuff I will automate.

I was recently having problems with soft float on 405D however this
turned out to be a bug in the memory management code which has been
fixed since the release I had originally based my patches upon.
Upgrading seems to have solved that.
Floating point is being done via userspace library emulation however I
am compiling in the soft float support just in case.
Cheers,
Jon.
