The best thing to do would be to add another m68k-rtems trrget of the form m68k-rtems-elf. This appears to be the convention folloed by the linux community to handle their transitions. In the long run, m68k-rtems-coff needs to be there also. m68k-rtems can alias one or the other. For now, it would alias m68k-coff. This would have to be done to all packages in the toolset -- gcc, binutls, and newlib. --joel Joel Sherrill Director of Research & Development joel@OARcorp.com On-Line Applications Research Ask me about RTEMS: a free RTOS Huntsville AL 35805 Support Available (205) 722-9985
