if you have any problems with the compiler just build your own gcc2.95 and
binutils for cygwin or mingw32, 'mipsel-unknown-ecoff' is the target you
need to know. ah! ok sorry i'd budget about a week for doing that...

it does sound like that GO32 stack problem again, theres a million messages
about similar stuff if you search back.

 if you're really stuck go to www.netyaroze-europe.com/~frothy and download
2.8.1 for native win32. i havent tried it on win 2000 but it worked great on
NT. Does C++ as well.  it's not quite perfectly the same as the CD gcc (it
either doesnt link or it does link, i cant remember) but if you mess around
with your makefile (and maybe use mingw32 make?) you might be able to
squeeze out the last optimisations. try it on something simple first and
build up.

best of luck
