My target is lanai processor from Myricom. I want to have a gcc 3.2 to compile code for lanai. Myricom (lanai propretary) already have a gcc 2.95 cross for this architecture. I was thinking in use the machine files from this gcc 2.95 cross and port them to the gcc 3.2, making gcc 3.2 able to compile code for lanai. hope it is clear now. thanks .
