Hmm.  The first one adds
  +%inherit GCC_3.4 GCC_3.3.2
to gcc/gcc/config/sh/t-linux.
Is it really ok to mention 3.4 in a 3.3 compiler?

The second one looks nice and small.  I'll drop that one into
the next snapshot of crosstool (and the other one if you're sure it's safe).

Sure.  It's just that I've never tackled glibc cvs before.
(I do wish those guys would do a release.  I wonder if their
motivation for no longer doing releases is to discourage
individuals from compiling glibc themselves!)

I could probably pick up a dreamcast with broadband adapter
for not too much, but frankly, at this point I'm so busy I'm
just going to wait until someone sends me a target system
with Linux and an ethernet interface already up and running
rather than piece anything together myself! :-)
