Hello,

# NetBSD/bebox(rename from NetBSD/be) began to run multiuser mode.
# But, there are still many problems :-)
# It doesn't have the mechanism that splxx mask external interrupt.
# Because generic source tree was changed to 08/01 current version (1.2G),
# DMA doesn't work properly yet.
# 	etc...

Where is gcc/gas to work on NetBSD/powerpc?

I can't make gcc/gas for NetBSD/powerpc from that contained in NetBSD current.

 gnu/usr.bin/gcc/Makefile
 : .if  (${MACHINE_ARCH} == "arm32") || \
 :      (${MACHINE_ARCH} == "i386") || \
 : 	(${MACHINE_ARCH} == "mips") || \
 : 	(${MACHINE_ARCH} == "m68k") || \
 : 	(${MACHINE_ARCH} == "ns32k") || \
 : 	(${MACHINE_ARCH} == "sparc") || \
 : 	(${MACHINE_ARCH} == "vax")

It is written in <URL:http://www.tools.de/~ws/NetBSD/history.html> as follows.

 > System runs multiuser, and has completely recompiled itself natively.
How did you make the compiler which worked on NetBSD/powerpc?
