Was my backwards compatibility patch to the kernel ld script ever applied?
No, at that time I didn't have time to look into it, and later you
said the (one) computer with that
toolchain had died (so you were going to use a newer one?).
I tried to build a newer one but got stuck (crosstool seems no longer
maintained, that's what I used last time). Then the disk with all the m68k stuff
on it died. I've found some info on Ubuntus bug pages on getting 4.4 to build as
cross compiler, I'll try again using that for starters.
This is what I used (for the 4.1.2 compiler):

When building on Ubuntu, you have to delete the following lines from
gcc-4.1-4.1.1ds2/debian/rules.defs first:
ifeq ($(distribution),Ubuntu)
GFDL_INVARIANT_FREE=no
endif
With some versions of debhelper, the linker cannot find some library.
You can work around this bug by prefixing the make command with
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/m68k-linux-gnu/lib
Alternatively, Emdebian seems to have some older toolchain binaries,
but I never tried them.
Eventually, the EtherNAT support should be merged with the standard
driver anyway,,,
But for the polled interrupt kludge I agree. Last time I checked the interrupt
to use for the EtherNAT is beyond what we currently reserve in the Atari
interrupt map, so I'd have to change the max number of interrupts - what are the
repercussions for doing this?
VME, Sun 3, and Coldfire already support more interrupts than Atari, so the core
code should handle this fine.
Which reminds me we still have to move to the generic hardirq framework...
