just a heads up that i've largely "completed" the work that i intend to on the libgloss & newlib build systems. hopefully people find it better off than when i started. i'll still be around, so if i introduced a regression, i'm happy to take a look. if people have questions, hopefully the documentation updates i merged will cover it, or i can explain things as needed. but other than the few minor patches i've already posted, i don't have anything else scheduled. i'm off to find another project to procrastinate on instead. -mike
