I do think that this project will take a long time to complete, and I hope that we can be ready to roll our work into the FBSD 5.0 release :-). I also wanted to add (just for the hardware list on the web page) that I have a SS5 and a SS10 dedicated to this effort. When my 10/100 switch shows up I will put one of these on the net for the abuse of anyone who wants to help. Another note: I have been trying to build a cross-compiler that groks the architecture sparc-unknown-freebsd. I have been having quiet alot of trouble building the header files to config gcc. I have been trying to understand how all the config (/usr/src/contrib/gcc/config) files work by comparing how the i386 NetBSD file compares with the i386 FreeBSD file, and how the alpha FreeBSD file compares to the i386 FreeBSD file. I am hoping to glean enough information to be able to transform the NetBSD sparc file (.../gcc/config/sparc/netbsd.h) into a file that will tell gcc how to build an elf executable for a sparc architecture. I haven't been able to find very much information on the net to aid in this process, and this is my first crack at doing something like this with gcc. I was wondering if anyone had any pointers, web sites, books...etc that would help me along. Thanks in advance.
