That's great news so far :-) Some time ago, however, I've tried to get brickOS
to run on those old h8300 bricks, but it only seemed to work when using an old
tool-chain (which is also the reason why the related packages never got upgraded
to newer versions in Debian).
Unfortunately, I also don't have any access to bricks at the moment, so if
someone still has access to those bricks, it would be great if you could try out
Carl's patched packages. If it works out, I'd happily upgrade the Debian
tool-chain to newer versions!
Thanks for your efforts,
Michael

| Michael, Carl, (...) I'm encouraged by your efforts Carl and I don't have time to do the gcc work so Michael, I'd like to take you up on your offer.
