  At least for the m68k, the MRI format is IEEE695, which is supported
(or at least used to be) by the binutils. You can use objcopy to convert them.
For the PPC, it's probably ELF, so you can use C libraries produced by other
compilers, but not C++. For powerpc-elf, GCC should have no problem linking
with the other C-based libraries.

  DejaGnu will work with other compilers, but it works best for cross
testing when using GCC. As far as making DejaGnu work for cross testing,
I'm currently rewriting the manual, and adding more docs on how to do this.
Once that is done, I plan on doing a new net release in the Jan-Feb time
frame. This relese is basically what's in the snapshots available with
GCC/GDB, plus the new manual.
