I've burned up too much time over the holidays on trying to get our loader pointed to ARC x86 on the SGI Visual Workstation, and didn't really get anywhere. If anyone has such a box and wants a starting point, go here:- http://people.freebsd.org/~bms/dump/loader-arc-x86-sgi.diff You'll need to install devel/mingw32-binutils. Regards BMS
