Hi, I'm looking at porting brickOS to FreeBSD. I guess the first step is to get the crosscompiler etc. going. Which version of gcc and binutils is the best to use?

RCX'rs, I know it is a silly question and one that has probably been asked before, but what does RCX stand for? If I could find the answer, I wouldn't have to ask. Does it stand for Robotics Command System or Robotics Command Extrodinare? What? Todd (21 years ago, 8-Dec-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
