[ANNOUNCE] GCC 3.3.2/3.4 ColdFire toolchain for uClinux (20031103)

[Bernardo Innocenti <bernie at develer dot com>]

Hello,

I've released a new snapshot of the uClinux/ColdFire toolchain
based on GCC 3.3.2 and GCC 3.4-prerelease:

 http://www.uclinux.org/pub/uClinux/uclinux-elf-tools/gcc-3/

This release incorporares quite a lot of updates and fixes
since the last official announcement.

Changes in release 20031102:

   * Update GCC to 3.3.2 and 3.4-20031029;
   * Update binutils to version 2.14.90.0.7;
   * Finished integrating uClinux and ColdFire support in
     official GCC and binutils. The 3.4 toolchain now builds
     with no patches except for some pending GCC 3.4 bugfixes;
   * Use self-extracting archives for all binary packages;
   * Fix GCC 3.4 packaging problem (thanks to Frank Baumgart).

Changes in release 20031006:

   * Most ColdFire and uClinux patches are now incorporated
     in the official GCC 3.4 snapshots.
   * Update GDB to 6.0, with new BDM patches.
   * Update uClibc to 0.9.21.
   * Enable pthreads support in uClibc (lightly tested).
   * Split binary distribution in three packages (base, C++ and GDB).
   * Several bugfixes all over the build script and patches.

Changes in release 20030811:

   * Upgraded GCC 3.3.1 to the official release;
   * Update links for GCC 3.4 to really point at the 20030806
     snapshot.

Changes in release 20030808:

   * uClibc multilibs for -msep-data were being built as
     shared libraries (reported by Chen Qi).
   * Update elf2flt from uClinux CVS and drop all patches.
   * Update GCC 3.4 snapshot to 20030806. Fixes problems with -MD,
     builds kernel, breaks libstdc++ multilibs (still investigating).
   * Apply small fixes to GCC 3.4 patchset.
   * Integrate GDB 5.3 with BDM support
   * Restore building GCC 3.3.1 (got broken in previous release)
   * Test with GCC 2.95.3: surprisingly, it still builds fine...
