Thanks for your efforts, Miro. A personal note about your webpage:
dark blue
links on a black background are pretty hard to read ;-)
I know ;-) A few times I've tried to look into a CMS which would make
my life easier (i.e. upload a file, generate a news entry, manage old
versions, ...) but surprisingly, never found anything.
I'm not sure what bootstrapping means: building a native GCC on
the machine
itself?
That too, but in general, rebuilding everything from scratch. Typical
situation is that you want a compiler but you need a compiler to
compile it. As soon as you can compile "Hello world", you can compile
other tools and then you can compile more complex tools and so on.
However, there's no reason to make your life that hard, you can
compile majority of tools using a cross compiler (which usually runs
on a system with all that GNU crap like automake, coreutils, texinfo
etc), gcc is a case which needs some special tweaking.
Btw, according to Alan, it's not possible to do a multilib bootstrap
of gcc because you'd have the same problem -- gcc would try to compile
& run m68000 and m68020-60 code on the FireBee, which is wrong. But
--disable-multilib should allow to at least try the whole bootstrap
procedure as a proof of concept.
