Hi Greg,

I finally got around to trying this today. Here's what I did:

Install Cygwin with make, gcc, flex, patch, tar, gzip, autoconfig, gperf, 
and bison.

Download:

binutils-2.10.tar.gz
gcc-core-2.95.2.tar.gz
gcc-g++-2.95.2.tar.gz

Follow the instructions:
www.netyaroze-europe.com/~cbauer/yarlinux.html

The only change I made was to use binutils-2.10. The line you want to add to 
the specs file is
/usr/local/mipsel-ecoff/lib/startup.o

The bouncing ball demo compiled and ran without any problems so hopefully 
that means everything's working. I haven't tried the instructions for 
modifying libps.a to get floats etc working or C++ yet.

It looks like it might also be possible to get at least GCC 3.0.4 working 
(which has much better C99 support). See here:
