The proposal looks fine. I have another question.

What problems exist with cross compiling.

We are still using the cross-compiler for all of our building & testing.
We use:
gcc version 2.96-ia64-000717 snap 001117 (plus some patches that Ralf added last Dec).

I know that at some point we need to convert to native builds but right now we
dont have sufficient bigsur/lion boxes to do that.

We have not seen any problems with the compiler we are using - at least we
have not attributed a problem to the compiler.

Should we upgrade to gcc3.0 yet???

Any info on this subject would be appreciated......
