I think the basic problem that Wookey is worried about is that the balloon 2
version of bootldr currently will not build/work with a modern version of
gcc. I've been looking at this and while I have now managed a reasonably
clean build it doesn't work. Partly I suspect because it has odd bits of
minipug and samosa code that I haven't found yet.

If we can get it working for balloon 2 and then merge that with Nicks
balloon 3 branch we would be in a good position.

On a related subject - I do now have a 2.4 kernel for balloon 2 that builds
and works with gcc 3.3, so we are making progress on the tools front.

regards,

Colin
