I built the H8/300 binutils-2.9.1 and gcc-2.95.2 and compiled the legOS kernel
and it was locking up when downloading programs. People here said get
egcs-1.1.2 -- it works! So I built egcs-1.1.2 and cd'd to legOS/boot, make
clean/make and the result still crashed. If it wasn't the kernel it had to be
the libraries, so I cd'd to legOS/lib, rebuilt that, then relinked the kernel
and that worked. The only interesting library is "libc" (the others are math
stubs). I built it with both compilers, disassembled all of the objects and
started looking at diffs. memcpy was actually first alphabetically so I found
it when I compared the first two .s files.
