That's good to know (and I'm not being sarcastic, btw!). A few months ago I 
had to make CPU decisions on a revamp of a design based around the W90215. 
I was being pushed **very** hard in the direction of the W90221, but I am 
now trebly glad that I steered out of that particular hellhole and into ARM!

Anyhow, I have a working cygwin toolchain for the moment, which seems much 
more stable than the DOS32 version. As time permits, or if problems 
surface, I'll try going backwards and forwards in gcc versions.

Thanks for the info!
