Could I just go into the Makefile and add the flag? or is it a configure option? Where would this directive normally be? I'd be happy to change to 6.8 but since I'm using it for cross compiling I need to ensure that it will work with the m68hc11.... also this is my first experience setting up a toolchain, so I'm trying to be conservative with what I try (since i'm not sure about what might work and don't want to get in over my head). If anyone know of a toolchain that works with a newer version of GDB please let me know. Thanks again, Nathan
