There doesn't seem to be a reason why it shouldn't work; try calling
"makebootable" again on the target partition. Maybe the partition
offset is messed up (although I currently can't remember if that
actually matters if there is only one Haiku partition).
Have you had a look at the volume menu in the boot loader?

I am not sure about the graphics, but the rest should be supported :)

You don't need to update "ld" when you're using GCC 2.95.3. The rest
looks good, I think :)
And yes, Oliver's compiler is the recommended one - other compilers
might not be able to compile our tree correctly.
