AFAIK Takashi did a lot of science to insure that
the 2.95.3 toolchain works as advertised.  I've noticed that the
2.95.3
toolchain on BeBits doesn't properly compile template functions, but
that's ok because templates are evil.  ;-)

Er, I rather leave the flaming to others (Erik?). ;-)

Oops, meant to say "STL", not templates in general.

In any case if this is a viable option I'll take on the work.  I've
done a lot of embedded stuff and know my way around the gcc 2.x
toolchain reasonably well.


Thierry Delhaise started in September last year, but gave up eventually
(http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=2261122). He
invested quite some time and made some progress. So, in case you want
to do the port, you may want to contact him. However, as Axel wrote,
Zeta will be shipped with a newer compiler, and if that one is fine,
the time for porting it now would be wasted.

That's good info, thank you! Saved me from having to dig into this. :-)

Cheers,
Scott
