Yes, a week ago or so.

Yeah, it's full of pitfalls.

S900, 300MHz G3, 1MB L2, 400MB RAM, 3.99.3 kernel, 2.0 userland. Took a cou=
ple of hours, not sure how many exactly. Seems to work fine, if you want th=
e binaries I'll put them somewhere for download.

I used something very similar. What I found though...
- make sure there are no stray .o files in your source tree
- make sure there are no stray dependency files anywhere
- make sure there are no stray obj directories
... especially when using -O - the build process gets awfully confused by t=
hese things.
make distclean cleans what it thinks where you keep your objs, but nowhere =
else, so in doubt have a look if there's anything suspicious lurking anywhe=
re.=20

have fun
