Yeah, sorry about the noise. I replied to and existing thread and edited 
the fields but thunderbird didn't show that it was including a 
"in-reply-to" header. Once that thread had my news subject, the mailing 
list software will always treat the message as part of that thread...

I did a tiny amount of work in this direction a few years ago. My 
vehicles are so far pretty simple and I'm getting pressure to update the 
xtensa toolchain for FreeBSD so this seems like a good time to jump in.

I want to update the FreeBSD port with a specific release; sounds like I 
should use release-v5.3?

(I'll probably switch to off-list email with you once I get further along.)

Thanks!
