Hi, 
  I've been partially cross-compiling from linux/i386 using GCC

  Using mostly stuff from patches refered to on the list, I managed to 
  get everything except the final link going, I do that by using nfs to cross 
  mount the development directories, & using rexec to do the link on the 
  vax. haven't really looked at it since...

  I was working with an egcs-1.1.2 snapshot for linux-alpha..
  and had been working on getting patches against a stock binutils 2.10.
  the disk on the linux box died. (infant mortality [grr]) but I should 
  be able to recover things.

  Not sure what anyone else is up to at the moment,..


Cheers,
    Steve
