Secret sauce at the end :)

I have the following working:
crosstool-0.32 -- demo-armv5b-softfloat.sh
OSX 10.3.9
sed-4.1.4
gawk-3.1.4
coreutils-5.2.1
gcc PR16201
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/crossgcc/2004-12/msg00075.html (stddef.h)

NOTE: nothing fink'd into place, I think I'm quite "prsitine" and 
virginal as a platform goes.. perhaps I would have a solution faster had 
I finked a bit.  My bad.

I have installed sed, gawk, and install (and NO OTHER part of coreutils) 
into /opt/local/bin/ ... originally I had "./configure --prefix=~/.gnu" 
but then copied them into place.  They worked fine after copying.

I have three patches appled (2 for glibc, 1 for gcc-3.4.1) simply by 
dropping them into the patches subdir.

The resulting toolchain can build a simple program, but I have not yet 
built a kernel with it, as I am waiting for an updated patch.  Chinese 
Labour week, firewalls, and inertia might delay me actually *really* 
testing this for a week.

The necessary patches are summarized in the following:
http://chickenandporn.com/r/macosx-0.32-3.4.1-2.3.3-supplement.tar.bz2 
(3.5k)

My binaries used during build are also available:
http://chickenandporn.com/r/macosx-0.32-3.4.1-2.3.3-tools.tar.bz2  (193k)

FYI

Dan, can these patches be preserved in 0.33?  Are they damaging to the 
rest of the builds?

Also, is this real softfloat, or is this just a lack of softfloat bugs, 
and Dimitry's patches need to be checked?

Shoot, I *still* have a response from him to verify...
