well, sort of. i can still package the cross compilers and such, so that we
will all be ready for it. but the new arch obviously is still another relase
or two away.
i have binutils packaged, and i haven't worked on it in awhile, but i think
egcs is mostly done, too...

well, for the cross compilers, i'm doing /usr/lib/parisc-xxx
e.g,
/usr/bin/parisc-egcs
/usr/bin/parisc-as
etc.

agreed.

which two machines? the ones the puffins are working on? they are working
on the a180c (a-class). it is only a 32-bit machine, however. i think it is
compatible with all the 64-bit machines, and can confirm this if you'd like
and provide me with more info.
