Just a thought, if you are not doing so already. If you use the GNU texinfo system up front you can conveniently produce the documentation in info, pdf, ps, text, and htm formats, all from the same master, complete with indexes and whatnot. You might also wish to use/adapt nmalloc from my site as an alternative malloc to whatever is in newlib. The advantages MIGHT be 1. O(1) operation of free and realloc 2. Extensive heap debugging help easily available. The primary disadvantage MIGHT be increased memory usage overhead per allocated block (16 bytes). nmalloc is designed for DJGPP. <http://cbfalconer.home.att.net/download/nmalloc.zip> (posted in c.a.e) -- Chuck F (cbfalconer@yahoo.com) (cbfalconer@worldnet.att.net) Available for consulting/temporary embedded and systems. <http://cbfalconer.home.att.net> USE worldnet address!

 Hello group.

 Not for the faint of heart, but we have compiled a new GCC 3.4-snapshot
based ARM-elf+Newlib toolchain, available as usual from
http://www.gnuarm.com. PDF documentation has been regenerated using a more
recent TeX/dvipdf distro, since some people had trouble viewing it.

 Please don't hesitate to send us all the feedback you wish.

 Cheers!
