The existing one has /usr and the new one /usr/edoc. However I have been compiling the new one without binutils (I.e. not doing a combined build or rebuilding binutils with the new GCC afterwards), assuming it would successfully use the existing binutils in /usr. Is this possible as a generic solution or for the generic solution am i going to have to build binutils + newlib as well as GCC? Thanks, Brendon.
