I'd certainly be interested to know if the outstanding ARM build issues are 
resolved with GCC 3.0.  The optimization bug is particularly vexing.  I've 
heard rumours that the problems are still present, even in 3.0.

I'm currently limited to doing my compilation on machines provided by the nice 
folks at handhelds.org...they do the upgrading of those machines periodically 
so eventually they'll have GCC 3.0 on there.  There seem to be some definite 
problems between differing versions of GCC and GLIBC for ARM...Squeak 
definitely runs on the GCC 2.95.3 machine I built it on, but it segfaults on 
my iPaq (which has a slightly older version of glibc...arrrgh).

Of course, with Rebel.com RIP I wonder if I can get a Netwinder for real 
cheap...building a x-compiler environment is another option, I guess.
