After surfing through many sites, and (sadly) even more 404s I have been unable to find a definitive list of gcc, binutils, BrickOS etc. versions and patches that I should and could be using. Presumably everybody here has up to date versions of all (...) (16 years ago, 13-Apr-09, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Greetings, This is a follow up to earlier postings discussing the development status of BrickOS.

(...) I think we need to stick with 2.16.1, I don't know whether porting brickos to elf is really worth the trouble.
