Hello,

Well. It works much better when linking with gcc. I had to type in the the
correct path for linking on my own when using ld and now gcc makes these
things automatically when supplied with the right cpu option (e.g. -m68000
-msoft-float).

I will give it a try as soon as i finished porting the lowlevel things to
the new system.
