We use the DiabData compiler for the PowerPC and the SDS SingleStep debugger all running
under MS-Windows.  This is not my preferred development environment but it is what I have
to use.  I have cross-compiled gcc and insight to run in the cygwin environment and
targetting the powerpc.
As it happens, I have just ported our application code to compile with gcc.  I tried to
download it to the board into DRAM via the bdm but I could not setup the registers,
memory controller, etc as the "ocd reg" command was not available.  I don't if it has
changed or if it is now in the CVS repository.

There has been quite a bit of discussion on the GDB mailing list in the last 2 weeks
about the binutils CVS repository moving to sourceware.cygnus.com.  The gdb repository is
now merged with the binutils repository.
