I'm pretty sure the old cross compiler is broken.
Send me your id_rsa.pub and I'll get you an account
on a a500 where you can use a hppa->hppa64 toolchain.

Someone is looking at fixing the hppa->hppa64 cross compiler
in gcc cvs. So we should get a shiny new *native*
toolset to work with. The alternative is to try building your
own cross compiler from a newer gcc out of debian.

You might also try the gcc mailing list.
