Dan writes "Marcus Comstedt has a native build of the new GCC 3.3 for NetBSD/dreamcast platform. It was built using the latest binutils (2.13.2.1), and he then rebuilt the binutils with the new compiler. Also included is a gdb 5.3 built with the GCC and binutils."

It was built using the latest binutils (2.13.2.1)

Too late, binutils 2.14 [redhat.com] is released ....

I've run GCC on machines with 16MB of memory before, but they also had at least several megabytes of swap storage as well. Will GCC even be able to compile anything on this box?
I know there is the relatively unused serial port in the back of the thing, but has anyone even developed a mass storage device for the Dreamcast?

  Lots of people care, this is another victory for NetBSD and the BSD community.
  Why? [netbsd.org]
  
  My take on the NetBSD idea, is not why, but why not?
  If you can run NetBSD on a dreamcast, or any other piece of equipement with a CPU, then you can have a simple firewalling router, or a file server. The possibilities aren't endless, but there's a lot.

Shouldn't he also have rebuilt gcc with the new binutils? Then rebuilt binutils with that resulting gcc?

BTW: I just symlink the binutils source directory from inside the gcc source directory (i.e. ln -s ../binutils-2.13.2.1 binutils) and then "make bootstrap-lean". This takes care of the interdependancies. You can also do the same for flex and bison.
