- You will have problems with your current C-compiler, it
- will not be able to evaluate branches around "LEGITMIZE_xxx_ADDRESS",
- (if ..(if (if ()))).
- This is due to tables choosen too small during setup. There were fixes
- available from Motorola.
-
- Trick I used to bootstrap gcc on Motorola systems years ago was to
- build a cross compiler on a system with approbriate endian ;->,
- move all include files from Motorola to the cross development system,
- making _SURE_, that these will be used,
- and compile the sources to assembler sources, which were assembled
- on the target system.
-
- C-compilers delivered by Motorola (except Green Hills, which I never tested)
- never were able to compile any GCC-sources (No, even not 1.3[7-9]).

- You might have a llok at

-
- hope it helps, adams
