Hi,

are you the guy that maintains gcc? Is this the
rms thats at the bottom of the README-bugs?

Sorry if your not please ignor this message.....

If you are then I think gcc is broken when
cross compiling for mips-elf. It has a problem
with mips-tfile. It does'nt make it but tries to
run it. If I try to manualy make it, it fails with
can't include 'a.out.h'.

Versions
- -------
binutils-2.9.1
gcc-2.95.2
