I was aware of the first bit (needing an assembler to sensibly run gcc),
but not the second (the cross-assembler being a pre-reequisite for
*building* gcc).  Thanks for the clarification.

OK, did that (as in latest release: 2.17).

After re-reading toolchain/scripst/README and friends (esp build_*.sh),
much stuffing around and various false-starts I appear to have something
resembling success:

==============================8<==============================
$ /home/neale/VAXen/WORKING/build-20060926-133121-UTC-vax-linux-uclibc/install/usr/bin/vax-linux-uclibc-gcc -v
Using built-in specs.

Thread model: single
gcc version 4.1.1
==============================8<==============================

I guess now I turn my attention to the kernel....

Many thanks for the help so far.

Regards,
Neale.
