BTW, you most definitely can get the source code for the VxWorks/Tornado
compiler, after all, it is GNU.  In fact, I recently set out to obtain the
source code for the VxWorks/GNU PowerPC cross-compiler and it turns out you
have to request it from WindRiver.  It is not accessible from their web
site (at least not easy to find if it is there) and they do not mention in
any documentation how to obtain the GNU compiler source.  They also ask for
a license number when you request the GNU compiler source.  My question --
why do I need a Tornado license to receive GNU software??????  I'm not sure
what they would have done if I hadn't provided a license number.

BTW, they also distribute a cygwinb19.dll and apparently you have to
request the source for it as well.  Is WindRiver following the rules?

Andy
