>Who is working on the problem and is in the need of some beta-testers?

Well, I am not interested in the issue discussed in the message I quoted 
from, but since he brought up the subject of beta-testing, I am 
definitely willing to test anything that promises to improve the 
stability of my pb 520c, running Takashi Hamada's kernel.  I would 
especially like to get the compiler running so I can do some useful work 
myself...
