Greetings --

   Is there anyone out there who has ported any of the GNU programs
   to the Motorola MPC100?   I am particularly interested in the
   following:

	Emacs		[Help!  save me from "vi"!]
	Gcc
	Gdb
	G++
	Bison

   but would also appreciate pointers to other GNU utilities.

		Thanks in advance,
			Mark Lanzo

Notes:
    I have the emacs 18.55 distribution [which I installed quite a while
    ago on a HP9000 series 300 box with HP-UX 7.0 ];  but I have been unable
    to get it to compile [or at least link] on the MPC100.
    Perhaps all I need are viable configuration files [ there is no
    "m-mpc100.h" file for instance ].

    I compiled gcc on our system and it seems to build executables,
    but they core dump at strange times [such as trying to malloc()
    more space than is available -- to show this, just compile and
    run the 'hard-params.c' file supplied with gcc -- which is just
    a copy of Steven Pembertons 'config.c' utility]
