   I'm trying to build:
   m68k-coff on sparc-sun-solaris2.6

   I'm using binutils-2.8.1, gcc-2.7.2.3, newlib-1.8.0

   According to "the list", I need gcc-2.7.2.3 for m68k.  I need soft float
   support, but there is no cygnus patch for gcc-2.7.2.3.

   Is there a reason for this, or is the world just waiting for me to make the
   2.7.2.2 patch work on 2.7.2.3?

There isn't a 2.7.2.3 patch because I didn't have time to make one.
The 2.7.2.2 patch applies cleanly to 2.7.2.3 and studying the diffs
from 2.7.2.2 to 2.7.2.3 suggests there's no reason to believe it won't
work.  I could create a copy of the 2.7.2.2 patch for 2.7.2.3 on the ftp site
and mark it as untested, but one can argue that's dubious.  If someone
has actually used the patch then please let me know.
