The only thing I did was use a script and diff files written by Andris
Pavenis (got them from off the mail archives) and that did change a few of
machine specific source files:

coff-go32.c
coff-i386.c
coffgen.c
tc-i386.h
te-go32.h

Other than that the only problem I ran into was the linker script generation
did not work right (It left a few extra braces in 3 of the script files) so
I corrected the generated c source that had the scripts (I just removed the
extra braces) and then I rebuilt the linker.

The only problem that has shown up is the allegro build (I cannot get any of
them to make good exe files).  Everything else I have done works just fine,
ie no crashing.

The problem has to be in allegro because when I built a modified version (I
had the makefile leave out the graphics portions and related peices -- just
built sound modules) it works.

I can send the binutils script and diff files that I have through email if
you would like me to.  (I cannot seem to send any attachments to the news
server -- none of the messages I have sent recently that contained file
attachment have shown up.)
