So I assume you have 1.5 (or so) userland + a new config and possibly
make.  I thought that would force you to pull in a bunch of libc,
and then just turn nasty, so I never bothered to try.  I may give
it a go and see what happens.

That would be good.  I think I heard Jason say he was working on
GCC 3.x so I was going to wait for that.  (I'd help, but I don't
think I could do a whole toolchain revamping project.)  I thought
about just grabing 3.x and seeing if that would compile and drop
in, but I don't have the disk space to try right now.

Good luck, let us know how it goes, and if you have some small odd
jobs to go with it all, I might be able to help a little.  Although
I need to put a bigger disk on that little machine...
