that contains:
* cleanups to configuration files
* A reworked gccnewlib.spec.in: I have reformated it for enhanced
readability and added more rtems-base packages. It now should be free of
any installation conflicts (If there still remain some, they should be
regarded as bugs).
* A fix to the bin2boot RTEMS_BSP issue (make RTEMS_BSP="pc386 pc486"
now works).
* removes libbsp/bare/wrapup
* Further cleanups
that converts the a29k to automake.
This patch contains
* An initial merger of the libcpu/a29k stuff you sent yesterday. AFAIS,
most code inside them seems to be empty stubs. One file even contains a
function called mips_*** which might indicate that this part might
contain mips code or the code the initial porter used as template for
porting. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about the a29k so I can't
comment on the details.
* A dummy bsp_specs to libbsp/29k/portsw
* An update to the automake files related to the a29k.
Note:
* This patch is completely untested, because I don't have a toolchain
for it.
* The files in libcpu/a29k include bsp.h => The libbsp vs. libcpu-issue
hits again.

reduces the conflicts between the RPMs whether installing one or multiple
targets.
Cygwin support to the RPM scripts. The patch from David did not
apply cleanly and Joel ended up making all the modifications
plus some it should have included for consistency by hand. His comments:
I've included a diff against the last (19991203) snapshot RPM scripts that
adds what I think is required for Cygwin support. Basically all this boils
down to is adding EXE extension support. I've added the AC_EXEEXT rule to
conifgure.in (requires a valid 'cc' to work - this is not available in the
standard Cygwin distro). Each of the *.spec.in have @exe_ext@ includes in
them for each program that results in an EXE. The only odity here is that
the chill driver program is a shell script and thus does not require .exe to
be added... The mk*.in have all been updated to process the new exe_ext
rule.
Janovetz <janovetz@tempest.ece.uiuc.edu> to return a status from
network initialization rather than panic'ing. It changes a bunch
of rtems_panics to printfs and returns a status from
rtems_bsdnet_initialize_network().
I'd like to propose a change to RTEMS task variables that I think would
make them more useful. I think that it is early enough in their
existence to still make changes to their API.
1) Change type from `int' to `void *'.
2) Add extra argument to task_variable_add -- if non-NULL, a pointer to
a `destructor' function to be called when the task exits. This function
would be called with that task's value of the task variable as its
argument. In many cases, the `dtor' function could be `free'.
rtems_status_code rtems_task_variable_add (
rtems_id tid, void **ptr, void (*dtor)(void *));
rtems_status_code rtems_task_variable_delete (rtems_id tid, void **ptr);
This would be all we'd need to cleanly and efficiently support C++
per-thread exception information without dragging in all that POSIX API
stuff.
Some excellent sleuthing by Bob Wisdom <bobwis@ascweb.co.uk> revealed
that an empty mbuf at the end of a packet chain would cause the `retire'
function to blow up. Moving the line of code which bumps the transmit
buffer descriptor pointer fixes the problem. Some additional cleanup of
the sendpacket function was also completed.
