Actually I think the ps2dev group is more concerned with homebrew/hobbyist
development than Linux development (the name would indicate so), although
there are probably those with the ps2linux kit out there as well.  At LWE,
NIIBE implied that Sony gave their blessing for the "external" 2.4 port,
Yaegashi would you care to clarify?

Good question, now3d indicated fixed (the sources from SN Systems won't
build without modifications) sources at ps2dev.sourceforge.net.  I would
assume that most ps2dev people are using either the Linux or win32 versions
of these tools ...?  I'm more concerned with getting the modifications into
binutils and gcc mainline (esp. integrated with the flurry of recent
Linux/MIPS changes in those tools).  Exciting stuff.
