BTW, FWIW, and so on. I finished a new version of the crosssco, Donald Maddox helped me with the Linux version, and Jerry Hicks is working on an m68k-coff port. Unfortunately the new kit causes a core dump with our old gas, so I'll have to wait for a real update of our native binutils to submit them. This will make a heck of a developers environment for FreeBSD :). cheers, Pedro. Helmut F.
