but the binutils code doesn't even compile.. Was fun trying though..

Well, I started the make on this, and it looks to be running, but I'm not going to stay up to see if it finishes.

Lynn, FYI, I loaded that gps3d on my file server that has a GPS attached. Then I ran the Win32 client "gps" on my laptop (pointed to file server IP) you can set it to raw NMEA output and it looks just like I'm listening to NMEA off a serial port. If this toolchain make works, I'll grab the source for gps3d/gps and see if I can compile for Empeg. If that works what I'm thinking that there is at least some serial-reading and NMEA-spewing code in there that could be appropriated even if you don't use the whole daemon.

Nap time.
