No, I think that the guys who did the kernel port had to modify
xcopilot to handle the boot loader for the SuperPilot board that is
referenced.

Good point. Woohoo.

I am going to upload a new version of xcopilot that uses autoconf. I
am having trouble at the moment contacting the upstream maintainer to
get him these changes.

I have already uploaded a version of xcopilot. I have some
modifications that make it use autoconf and make it write stuff to
~/.xcopilot/ instead of CWD that I will upload soon. I will upload
the gcc tools in the next day or two as well.
I would have finished sooner, but I quit my job this week (woohoo) and
it played hell with my schedule.
