(My apologies if this email comes through twice...Outlook didn't seem to do anything useful with it the first time I sent it.)

Is there an easy way to update the PPC binutils in ELDK 3.0? Is there an estimated time of arrival for ELDK 3.1?

For thoroughness, I'd like to test a patch on an 85xx board, but don't see a good way to do that yet.

Thanks,

I currently use this for most of my development:

gcc (GCC) 3.2.2 20030217 (Yellow Dog Linux 3.0 3.2.2-2a)

...whichis identical to the tools used in ELDK 3.0 (which actually is based on YD-3.0).

I have heard a rumor of the current code not compiling with GCC 2.95, but have not yet had a chance to verify it. I believe it was a reported problem with an assembler interpretation of a C macro for the TLB_MAS() handling.

Yes. You need binutils 2.14 or later.

See "doc/README.mpc85xxads".

You should plan on uprev'ing to a modern GCC, of course.

Like ELDK 3.1 :-)
