As I am concerned I would like to have backward compat. back to 2.95.3 
;-) since there is the problem with the arm-linux-gcc-3.x / glibc-2.2.5 
with creating/using shared objects (Mr. Munda has been communicating 
with you some time ago about the matter)
I intended to use GM2 for my project where I heavily use the shared 
objects architecture but I have temporarily stepped aside and I am using 
the XDS-C to have all-C/C++ build codebase.

If the gnu image is binary-portable the checkin would be the best 
solution. Otherwise the configure stop - if these tools are really needed.
