Hi Again, I think I have worked out my question, but before I go an do some work can someone answer me: As the target powerpc-*-beos already exists making coff's do I need to create a new platform powerpc-*-haiku that will make elf's, or is there anyway to specify that -powerpc-*-beos can produce elf's too? --=20 Thanks, Andrew McCall andrew.mccall@gmail.com
