I think I got most of those built except for hppa, ppc/64, sparc/64, and v850. (I've only run the gcc regression tests on ppc405, ppc750, and sh4 so far, but hope to test more later.) Also, IBM seems to be using a variant of my script for ppc64. - Dan -- US citizens: if you're considering voting for Bush, look at these first: http://www.misleader.org/ http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/arar/ http://www.house.gov/reform/min/politicsandscience/
