Hi John,

I was aiming to do the exact same thing (as well as a cross compiler for
atmega chips).  I'd definitely start playing with the gcc-4.7.3 graft,
it does still have problems - but it builds on LP64 with the pim and iso
libraries.  I'm currently getting about 90 regression test failures out
of about 1000.  But these are largely on large sets, floating point
casts etc

regards,
Gaius
