problem configuring cross

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Could someone let me know if there are Cygnus patches for m68k-elf.

I'm currently trying to get my company to sign an assignment so my patches
could go into the offical egcs/gcc, but they are stalling/slow - If there
are already patches I may just give up pestering our lawyers....

Cheers
Mark
