GCC for the TI

Hey everybody, I've been lurking here for a while, and thought this group might be interested in a port I've made of GCC and the GNU Binutils tools (gas, ar, ln, etc.). I've done some testing with simple programs, and things seem stable enough for other people to play with the compiler if they're interested. Since my development machine runs Linux, it seems like the best way to distribute the required patches is via source. I can provide the binaries, but since it seems like everybody here run

Here are some general rules for interfacing with C. Comments about the 9900 version of GCC are just guesses. C variables are normally allocated on the stack. Any other memory use would probably be through allocation routines and it is accessed through pointers. Perhaps you could specify scratchpad memory in a call to the memory allocation routine similar to how the Amiga allowed allocation of CHIP (graphics) or FAST memory. Due to scratch-pad's limited size and importance I would suggest
