Chuck, My target cpu is Intel IO80321, which is also an xscale processor. :) I am curious that why you will like to use gcc-3.3 to do the cross. In FreeBSD-5.1(current), the arm-elf-gcc-295 port package is broken. Therefore, I can only use 5.0 or 4.x to try the porting. I have installed the gcc-3.3 for the cross compiling. But it seems only support NetBSD but no FreeBSD. What kind of modification does it need to support cross compiling on FreeBSD? How can I have my own cross compiled tools? My developed machine is an i386 PC. My porting is just at a starting stage only. Redboot also supports my target platform. I guess that I can use Redboot to load my porting kernel and run. So I should be able to skip the loader item at Paul's todo list. Am I right? I am still checking the detail items in machine functions. There seems more than 300 macros and functions to be implemented on machine dependent directory.
