Re: mulsi3 and other inbuilt functions

Thanks for the tip.
I am currently using a pre-compiled m68k-coff egcs-1.1.2 with newlib-1.8.1
under cygwin. The binary distribution didn't seem to come with a libgcc! I
guess I shall have to try and rebuild it again from the sources...last time it
had a problem with libiberty (what *is* that anyhow?)...
