Okay, here's a bit of feedback. :) prc-tools includes almost all of its files in /usr/m68k-palmos-coff/, except two: gilgamesh:/home/che# dpkg --contents prc-tools_0.5.0-2_i386.deb *snip* -rw-r--r-- root/root 142336 1998-06-16 13:54 usr/lib/libreadline.a -rw-r--r-- root/root 20270 1998-06-16 13:54 usr/lib/libmmalloc.a *snip* This makes it impossible to install prc-tools if you have libreadlineg2-dev or any other package that has libmmalloc.a included (not sure what this is offhand). These two should be moved into /usr/m68k-palmos-coff/. John> The upstream prc-tools consists of patches against gcc, John> binutils, and gdb plus its own software.

This is a hard one; I think the point of a source package is to have *everything* you need to build the target. If you have to download other things, it becomes difficult quickly. I'm not sure what the right solution is. -- Brought to you by the letters C and M and the number 2. "It is sad. *Campers* cannot *dance*.
