  Not a problem! I'm glad you dove right in! The patch hasn't been out that
long, so it's not suprising most folks hadn't seen the patch. I'd welcome
your help in improving the current patch.

  Cygnus is the maintainer of the binutils, while Richard Kenner is the GCC
maintainer. This makes it harder to get patches in the FSF sources, but this
patch looks like it'll be accepted. The VSTa patches has been in our sources
for almost a year. The critical spot was LD, cause with a LD for VSTa cross,
you can use the native compiler on *BSD or Linux and then just link with
the VSTa cross compiler and you're there. One of these days I'll merge in
the libc changes and get a complete tool chain. Still thinking about GDB....
