Hi,

I'm working on new project running on CPU PPC970FX (64bit processor). Soon
I'll have a platform to run on. Meanwhile I've done some work. I've
implemented new components /cpu/ppc970, /lib_ppc64, /include/asm-ppc64,
/include/ppc64_asm.tmpl, /include/ppc970, Makefiles... (Code is ported from
74xx_7xx, lib/ppc, and other resources). 
Sources are compiled and linked properly using 64bit crossed tool-chain
(gcc-3.4.3 glibc-2.3.3 binutils-2.14). I have lots of stubs that need to be
implemented.

I would like to get some assistance regarding 64bit issues:
1. The 64bit PPC EABI defines TOC (similar to GOT). Does anyone know about a
problem of 'fixing' the TOC during reallocation to DRAM like in 74xx_7xx
arch?
2. Are there any components (malloc, network...) that are know to be
incompatible to 64bit mode? 

Regards.
