Strange. Well, I replaced "sh" with "ksh" in the script, and
all seems to be fine - so far, and as far as that's concerned ;)

Thx.

Great. What was the answer?

Ja, that's what I figured as well. I installed the GNU stuff
from blastwave incl. gnulinks and invoked the "demo-i686.sh"
script by calling "PATH=/opt/csw/gnu:$PATH sh demo-i686.sh".
Seems to be coming along somewhat fine.

One annoyance - if the script breaks, I re-run it. It'll then
remove the gcc, ... directories and recreate them. That's taking
"some" time. Can I somehow make crosstool skip this step?

Cheers,
Alexander Skwar
