Hi Brian, thanks for the excellent work! I'm quite certain you could count me in on the requests below, but I better not make any promises these days..

Now for something completely different: I've been messing around with the build process a few months ago to enable cross compilation for GHDL. Since you seem to rather have the global picture in current development, I'd like to hear your opinion about such a feature (of course, other's opinions are welcome). Maybe we should open the discussion on another page, but let me quickly explain the motivation: I sometimes need to hand out a simulation that needs to co-simulate with something else, both running on a Windows i386. For convenience, and also to avoid the mcode path, I'm building all on a Linux box using the mingw32 cross compiler. Likewise, one could build simulations for a little ARM cluster, question is, whether such a madness makes sense. The cross-support would require: - Some changes to the build procedure - Some Path patching in the ghdldrv section (I've added flags like --AS=... -LD=... to allow specification of the cross toolchain) - Quite some testing, thus: work :-) Currently I've just got an ad-hoc patch for the svn150 variant, but the full cross compile support would likely require some ./configure overhead to generate the Makefiles. So maybe -- apart from the cross funkyness -- it would help the build procedure in general. Sorry if this has been discussed before (I didn't google up the history..). Any thoughts?
