I am using 2.4.26 compiled from the latest m68k cvs sources from the
-rm68k-2_4 branch. It does not seem that this has been updated to
2.4.27 yet, as I just updated and re-compiled this past Thursday.

Thanks for the tip, I'll try it and report back to the group. It
looks like some work will be needed on the clgen.txt then to describe
the change in the mode names.
Also, clgen.txt describes a program called freq which is supposed to
report and allow changes of many parameters in a running driver. Does
anyone know where this program is available, or is it rendered useless
by subsequent driver changes?

Will 2.6.* compile with gcc 2.95.4?
