Almost all were answered by Denis and Greg. I'd like to add a few
comments only.

Current gcc in an...@gc... has some problems. I'm fixing
them, but it's not completed yet. You can get relatively stable
20001120 version and its patch from http://www.m17n.org/linux-sh/.
I'm preparing a patch about relocations for binutils which will
be sent to the mainstream. Meanwhile please use the local patch
from Denis. It includes all my patchs which are explained in
http://dodo.nurs.or.jp/~kkojima/gnu-on-sh/temporary-README-new-toolchain.

About the native gdb, it works but I found some problem. Especially a
program which will be debugged should be compiled with -O0 -g, i.e.
without any optimizations and unfortunately, the compilation with -O0
fails in some cases even with 20001120 version of gcc.
