I've long since given up on this and eCos. Getting the extraneous tools
compiled on my alpha was pretty much hopeless, and I was running out of
time to debug broken instructions.

I have my own C/C++ runtime that does not depend on tcrtbegin or newlib,
and patching gcc configuration to support uCR and sh turned out to be
faster. Less of a learning curve for me, too. I've had uCR working on
my Linux/alpha for a while now, so doing the needed SH specific stuff
and updating to more recent compilers went pretty smoothly.

I've got my SH7750 / SolutionEngine working pretty well, now.

Thanks for responding, though. Wish I had time to do something about it.
