Well, newlib works for building a FreeBSD->Hitachi (target=sh-hms) cross,
because I have one installed and working. The only thing that required
some tweaking was the gdb remote debug packet size. The default size in
gdb-4.16 overruns the Hitachi board. A friend of mine (darren@wdc.net) had
figured out the right size, but he has since deleted the source, so I
still have the same problem under Linux (I built a Linux->Hitachi
(target=sh-hms) cross - it works, except for gdb overrunning the Hitachi
board). Does anyone have the right packet size at their finger tips?
