Make sure the shell you are running is statically linked!

Not needed. Both my shell (sash) and my test app can run dynamically.

Then what do you complain  about  segmentation  faults  when  running
dynamically linked applications???

I think you are confusing Dony and myself.  Dony has got his dynamic binaries going but I am still having problems.  I am about to
compile ALL my tools again.  binutils-2.9.5.0.24, egcs-1.1.2, glibc-2.1.2.  Hopefully I can get gcc-2.95.2 going at some stage but
this is a lower concern at the moment.

Ok, once more in detail:

1. Get your PPC target running with the root filesystem mounted  over
   NFS with a known set of working tools (shell, libraries, ...). For
   instance, you can start with the files from the `mbxroot.full.tgz'
   tarball.

I should try this, but I wanted to steer away from the libc-1.99.  I have no technical reason for this but Dan Malek mentions that
he compiles most things statically.  This requires lots of memory and filesystem space.  I assumed from his statements that linking
dynmaically was not advisable or doesn't work.  This must be false as the mbxroot-min.tgz files are dynamically linked.
