I'am also interested to port GNU gcc to 32-Bit MINIX, but as my knowledge is
not so advanced, I have some difficulties in seeing the procedure to reach
this point.
I suppose, that most of the procedure has to be done on a SUN; as this is
a possible way for my, could you (or Bruce Evans) tell my (us) :

	- what was the gcc/gas - Version you started from ?
	- could you summarize the procedure you applied
	- what files had to be changed ?
	- etc

I think, it would be very interesting for other poeple, to follow this steps.
