I spoke to a few members of the Haiku project last night about this - they are planning to use *-*-haiku and submit a patch to yourselves, so its going to be best to use powerpc-pc-haiku, i586-pc-haiku or sparc-pc-haiku (thinking a bit too far ahead here :) ). All versions are going to use elf. I spent the night hacking around the build system, and I think I managed to get it to target powerpc-pc-haiku using elf, but I don't really know how to extract what I have done to make a patch. If I upload a tar.gz of what I have done, can someone take a look to see if its right? Thanks, Andrew McCall --=20 Thanks, Andrew McCall andrew.mccall@gmail.com
