Right, I'm one of them. :)

Ok, tried that too, didn't make any difference. It's most likely that
something changed that oTOSis didn't expect, I just don't have any
idea what it could be.

But, since the new gcc and MiNTLib works on a real MiNT machine, I
guess that'll have to make do for now.

Having oTOSis is nice when cross compiling, though, because some
packages have small tools which are run at compile time, and if the
package isn't prepared for cross compiling, there's minimum work, if
those small programs can be run in oTOSis instead.
