emdebian gcc-2.95 cross-compiler for PowerPC target
I have installed emDebian cross-compilers for PowerPC targets on my Etch
development host (AMD). Looking at the results of "aptitude search" I
see I can install gcc-4.2, gcc-4.1, gcc-4.0, gcc-3.4, gcc-3.3, but
nothing for gcc-2.95.
I have a requirement to replace an aging powerpc development host, that
is used to compile for an embedded powerpc target, with a more powerful
AMD development host and suitable cross-compilers. Due to the way our
code repository is setup (it maintains and reuses object files from
previous checkin/integrations), I would prefer to use a gcc-2.95
cross-compiler to retain binary compatibility. For that matter I would
also prefer to stick to glibc-2.2 (2.2.5) C libraries too.
* Is there gcc-2.95 for emDebian? I see that there is a package
called gcc-2.95-doc so it seems like that it did exist.
* If not, is it because it is broken?
* How much effort would it take to produce a gcc-2.95 powerpc
cross-compiler for Etch ???
Thanks for any help or pointers.
Cheers, Brendan.
