 I have uploaded some newer RPM packages, including a full version of the 
i386 cross-compiler (FP support in the Java port may not work), more 
cross-development libraries, and some native VAX programs (including a 
native compiler that does not work ;) ) built with that stuff to my FTP 
site.  Get them from:

ftp://ftp.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/people/macro/RPMS/i386/vax-linux-*
ftp://ftp.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/people/macro/RPMS/vax/*

-- respective sources are at:

ftp://ftp.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/people/macro/SRPMS/

I had no time to post a proper announcement, sorry.  I'll post something 
when I am back to this project.

 Note that the environment is still rather unstable; in particular, as 
mentioned above, the native compiler segfaults on any program, but it's 
certainly a progress to have one builing at all.  I'm not sure how I'm 
going to tackle it yet -- I'll probably just build native `gdbserver' 
(verifying kernel ptrace(2) support as well as gdbserver's bindings) and 
then debug this with a cross-debugger, as the system is probably still too 
fragile for such a heavyweight program as native GDB to get anywhere.

 Have fun!  Patches are welcome if you fix something yourself too. :)
