Heh heh heh... a little bit of a difference there!  :>

h8300-hms builds OK (I haven't tested any of the routines yet, though).
h8300-coff falls down since ld gets passed "DEFAULT_EMULATION=h8300-unknown".
I'll poke around in the configure.tgt script and see if rewriting the
*-*-coff rule can help me through this (though there's enough BFM
in the configure scripts that I wouldn't know if this would be the
*right* solution...)

Thanks!
