[DotGNU]pnet build fix?

[S11001001]

To all those whose libffi doesn't work (this is for you, MisterP), there are 
better sources at GCC's Savannah repository.

Now, could someone please share some instructions on how to use this 
information w/o actually building all of gcc3?

Anyway, here are my experiences. (C-style comments)

First, save patchfile.dif (attached) in your base pnet directory.

BUILDING LIBFFI
***************
/* outside pnet tree */
$ cvs -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/gcc login
$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/gcc co gcc/libffi
$ cd gcc
$ cvs up -l
$ cd libffi
/* can't change configure.in, because weird aclocal changes */
$ emacs configure
/* go to line 3921 and take out a ../ before config-ml.in */
/* make sure to save */
$ ./configure
$ make
/* gcc emits error gcc: unrecognized option `-shared-libgcc', but no matter? */
/* also builds a test program, ffitest. You can run this...WFM */
/* no need to install... */

BUILDING PNET
*************
/* change to pnet directory */
$ ln -s (LIBFFI-DIRECTORY) ./libffi
$ patch -p0 < patchfile.dif
/* rebuild, and try it out! */

BTW: this is a good new sig:

(ildb) help
Undefined command: "help".  Try "help".
                --from `ildb', Southern Storm's IL Debugger

here's the regular linuxcookie sig

> What does ELF stand for (in respect to Linux?)
ELF is the first rock group that Ronnie James Dio performed with back in
the early 1970's.  In constrast, a.out is a misspelling  of the French word
for the month of August.  What the two have in common is beyond me, but
Linux users seem to use the two words together.
