Hi John, both Jochen and myself will be out next week. As soon as the new PowerPC HAL will be out we will check, how much problems this will create. We are definitely interested to get this contribution back into the main source tree, so that is stays maintained and is available for customers of our architecture. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
