Yes I have seperate packages, my gcc spec file has a bootstrap %define, which 
when true drags in glibc only todo a ./configure ....; make headers-install in 
the glibc dir, so that I have headers to build gcc against. When bootstrap == 0 
an arm-gp2x-linux-glibc package is build-required and used (although as I type 
this I wonder if this is true, or if when compiling gcc it uses the native 
headers instead?? Hmm need to check).

Erm, I'm using a prebuild kernel-headers tarbal which is used by pld for cross 
compilers and which is used in the compile from source sdk's currently 
available from the gp2x community.

For the srpms and specs, any feedback much appreciated! arm-gp2x-linux-binutils 
has already been submitted for review (you want the 2.16.1 version, using 2.17 
for gp2x was a bad idea), I'm planning on submitting the rest tonight (I'm all 
done, I just need to fill in the review form)


I'm pretty new to all this cross compile stuff (sofar I've only used cross 
toolchains not build them myself) so I think those specs could really use a 
good look over, as said already any feedback is much appreciated!

Regards,

Hans
