Just a note to the newlib-1.8.0 maintainers that I could not download newlib-1.8.0 from //ftp.cygnus.com/pub/newlib. It got 8% then failed with short write messages. I finally found a site in the uk which mirrors the /pub/newlib directory and it downloaded ok. Maybe OAR could mirror the versions of newlib, egcs & binutils that rtems needs. Brendan.
