 Newer than which GCC version?

 The switch seems to be '-mmc' for i960MC code generation....  As 
default for instance
a gcc-3.2.3 for 'i960-coff' produces code for something 'generic' but 
multilibs for
'soft-float' and 'ld64' (whatever this then means) will be produced but 
no 'i960MC'
optimized libraries without first patching the GCC sources to do this...

 Building cross GCCs on Linux i686 should be a piece of cake...

  I'm not a specialist in Ada but I would expect this language requiring 
the target to be a
"system"  like "Linux", "VxWorks", "RTEMS" etc. with a "file system" in 
it, so that things
like 'dirent.h' would exist among its target headers.  An embedded 
target like 'i960-coff'
isn't this kind of "system target" !

 So before you will tell your target type, not only the CPU type, it is 
totally vain to discuss
about any "how to build a cross GCC for the i960-system-x" issues.  What 
I told being a
"piece of cake", was producing a cross GCC for 'i960-coff' with the 
gcc-3.2.3 sources. But
the 'i960-wrs-vxworks' target can be totally another thing :-(
