That's cool, Bdale, but *my* problem is setting go-32 as a host, rather than a
target, and cross-compiling to i960.  So far, the only "out of the box" solution
is a $2000 package from Intel that is based on some gcc release with their
proprietary libs and the Pharlap extender.

I'm not aware of any patches for getting go-32 host, except for the DJGPP release
itself, which hardwires both the host and target in the configur.bat files.

If you know of such a beast, please let us know.  Others on this group I'm
sure would be interested as to how to get something like this up and running.
I'm also haunting the crossgcc maillist, but so far, no soap.

Thanks,

Dave, WB4SBE/8
