Reading the EABI spec, I believe this to be the best choice since the real target of FreeBSD/PowerPC isn't to complete with Darwin on G4's, but for embedded applications. The Mac G4 just makes a damn nice development platform for your embedded development work. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) GNU is Not Unix / Linux Is Not UniX To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ppc" in the body of the message
