EGCS for
WarpUP
Finally EGCS is able to compile WarpUP
compatible elf files. This ensures that
future EGCS Programs will be able to run
on any kind of PPC hardware (such as the
upcoming ESCENA G3 boards). EGCS - WarpUP
can be downloaded at cs.tu-berlin.de/~paladin
.
UPDATE: There is a tool (Elf2Hunk)
currently in development which will make
the WarpUP-Elf format worthwhile.
