I am trying to port gcc 2.3.3 to an NEC EWS4800 Mips machine, and I am having
one hell of a problem.  It seems to lie in the fact that all the mips part
of the software assumes (I far as I can tell) that the object format is ECOFF.
The NEC machine is ELF.  I have tried to get the compiler to use as1 instead 
of as, and then use coff2elf, but the code looks closer to Swahili than c :-)

Has anyone any suggestions ?
Has anyone already ported it, and can point me in the right direction, or
even forward me a copy of the source ?

Thanks
Steve
