I would like to thank these fine people for making crosstool-NG possible:

  Dan KEGEL, the original author of crosstool: http://www.kegel.com/

    Dan was very helpfull and willing to help when I build my first toolchains.

    I owe him one. Thank you Dan!

    Some crosstool-NG scripts have code snippets coming almost as-is from the

    original work by Dan.

And in order of appearance on the crossgcc ML:

  Allan CLARK for his investigations on building toolchains on MacOS-X.

    Allan made extensive tests of the first alpha of crosstool-NG on his

    MacOS-X, and unveiled some bash-2.05 weirdness.

Special dedication to the buildroot people for maintaining a set of patches I

happily and shamelessly vampirise from time to time... :-)

More to come as they help.
