No. If I was being naughty, I'd say "don't run cgen; let make do it when needed". When you copy/rename an existing target, the Makefiles will contain the appropriate constructs to run cgen. > Perhaps if I made notes on my adventure through this maze > it would be of some help?

[...] An important thing to understand is that CGEN is only able to automate the few roughly "table-driven" portions of the porting process. A lot of hand-written gas/bfd/ld/simulator code is still needed, little of which is cgen-specific and therefore not really appropriate for documentation here. - FChE
