Newlib is not-so-newlib; it's been around for ages, and was originally based on the BSD C library. (But has mutated lots since; it's reentrant amongst other things). Gcc has been crossable for years as well; there's not much new in what you're planning (check with Greg Leahy to see what is worth the effort 8). > > Sean J.
