This package currently should be considered experimental.

It is however useful enough in it's present form that I've placed
it in the main archive for people to use.  There are known issues
both with the compiler and with fhs compliance of gcc cross compilers
in general, all of which will be addressed as suitable solutions are
found.  Suggestions and patches are of course welcome.  Complaints
about these issues unaccompanied by a clear solution are in general
not helpful.

The package has been successfully used to build wxWindows (a stress
test also used by the upstream authors) and several simpler pieces
of software.

Ultimately it should be integrated with the existing binutils and
gcc packages, and with the upstream sources of those packages too.

In the meantime, I hope it makes your day just a little more pleasant
if you are among the people still providing legacy support for this
particular platform.
