Patch for building NetBSD 3.0 m68k cross tools on OS X 10.4.3 (Darwin 8.3.0)

In case this is useful to anyone, here is a patch containing the  
modifications that I had to make in order to get the cross  
development tools to build under Mac OS X with GCC 4.0.

build.sh results:

www/firefox on NetBSD/m68k ?

Hi, 

pkgsrc/www/firefox/Makefile.common has: 

# NetBSD-*-m68k builds, but "regchrome" dumps core.
NOT_FOR_PLATFORM=       NetBSD-1.4.*-* NetBSD-*-m68k

but Firefox 1.5 doesn't have regchrome anymore.  I don't have any m68k
hardware -- could anyone here please test whether it builds+runs now?  

(Please CC me any replies, I'm not subscribed to this list.)

netbsd-2 used to have a problem where the kernel's memory usage would grow 
and grow until the machine paniced - many people didn't notice, but when 
you have either colocated machines which are in constant use with 
typically 1/2 a year of uptime, or when you have bulk build machines, it's 
pretty obvious. Is that problem still around?

On netbsd-3, I see this problem:

mkdir .libs

How could I monitor this?  I've been building fairly steadily and been 
up for 42 days this time.  I know some people had reported problems but 
I haven't experienced any on my (relatively lightly used) machines.

You can look at the "RES" size reported in top for any of the kernel 
tasks, such as ioflush or reaper. On an Amiga running NetBSD 1.6.2 with 
256 megs of memory, usage never exceeds 50 megs or so. On a NetBSD 3 
machine with 128 megs, it hovers around 20-30 megs.

That's running now.

I never got any NetBSD 2 packages built because of the kernel memory 
consumption problem, but I have plenty of 1.6.2 and 3 packages which I 
will upload to the NetBSD server sometime soon. I can't upload your NetBSD 
2 packages, but I can host them if you need a space for them.

Thanks, I will try to keep an eye on it.

Let us know how it turns out.  If it compiles for you, then maybe my 
failure is something specific to the NetBSD 2 issues???

Did anyone pinpoint the source of this problem?  It seemed to just "go 
away" in v3, eh?

New hardware

Hi,

There are three different coldfire boards for Amiga announced, so...
yes, sort of.

-- snip --

I am really interested in the accelerator cards being built for the amiga.
I have been able to find information on the Elbox and Coldfussion cards,
but does anyone have a link to the 3rd card. I can't seem to find it on
google.

Thanks,
Al

Slightly off-topic: is anybody building m68k packages for post-1.6.* ?

I was asked about binary packages for post-m68k - is anybody building?
