Yes, I'm still getting up to speed on the particular tools, while I wait for=
 builds to complete.  I'll try to ask more educated questions :-)

I will look more closely at the arm compile.  If there is already some logic=
 in place to handle RISC, getting a working back-end for PowerPC will be=
 that much easier.

Ok.  I think the make depend for util/int is failing on rm_deps:

make: don't know how to make ./trap_msg. Stop

make: stopped in ./obj/util/int
> make depend
=2E/util/int/M.trap_msg ./etc/traps
=2E/util/int/M.warn_msg ./doc/int/appA
rm_deps Makefile >Makefile.new
rm_deps: not found
*** Error code 127

Stop.
make: stopped in ./obj/util/int

INSTALL runs make clean which does remove the generated trap_msg and=
 warn_msg files.  I'll see if I can figure out what is not working with rm_d=
eps.
