The port to BSD make must happen, but until the regression tests can be run successfully we don't have a good starting point (do we?) Trying to build a cross-compiler from x86 FreeBSD to sparc64-unknown-elf64 it seems to me that both the FSF and Cygnus EGCS are broken. I'm currently trying to build from Solaris to target sparc64-unknown-elf64 to see if it is just a cross architecture problem. IMHO, we need to get this fixed first and will necessarily need to work with other GCC developers to do this. I wholeheartedly agree that the port to BSD make needs to be done... just not right now. I also agree that gcc28 is preferable over egcs, although we might need to keep an eye out for useful patches from egcs too.
