some more specifics... in building libgcc2.a it iterates trough an for
loop in the makefile, compiling a bunch of object files from the same
file (libgcc2.c), every compilation has other defines (xgcc -DL${name}).
it trashes in the '_bb' section. I'm still trying to figure out what
exactly is going wrong as I assume the code is correct (I might hope it
acctualy compiles under most hosts especially real UNiX
implementations).

DJ,
I saw you already have the gcc 2.8.0 docs on your web-page, is that just
a quick texi hack. Or are you yourself busy building this compiler ?

All help appreciated :)

Peter
