The ELDK documentation contains instructions for  building  the  ELDK
tool packages from scratch; this is a good starting point for any new
packages.   [Note:   part   of  the  trickery  used  is  to  put  the
<ELDK_root>/usr/ppc-linux/bin directory in PATH *before* the /usr/bin
directory. This is to make sure that the command  gcc  results  in  a
call to the ELDK cross compiler, rather than the host gcc.]
