Hi everybody.
I searched the web for some information about this, but haven't been
able to find any answer to my question.
I'd appreciate if someone could give me an advice about which version of
the different development tools (namely binutils & gcc), and which
version of the C library (either glibc or newlib) I should use for a
MPC860T processor.
I currently use the Hard Hat Journeyman Edition (and recompiled
everything from the rpm sources), but was wondering if it would be
better to stick with it or use a newer version of some tools.
I suppose that GCC 3.x is not ready for the MPC8xx yet (but I might be
wrong).
Thanks in advance for your help.

Laurent,
We're also use the MPC860. For the tools we use CDK 2.0 from Montavista, and we've had no problems
with this. To install CDK 2.0 for the 860 do this:
> cd /mnt/cdrom/bin
> ./hhl-host-install
... and then select "embeddedplanet-rpxlite" for the board
This provides you with:
i) libraries
ii) a root filesystem for NFS mounting your target
iii) standard tools ppc_8xx-gcc, ppc_8xx-ld, etc.
After this installation all you need to do to compile a linuxppc kernel is change CROSS_COMPILE to
ppc_8xx- in the top level Makefile.
