	I've never heard uClinux for SH[12].

	I'm planning to start porting uClinux from middle of next
month on my new SH-2 board which I've just finished designing PCB,
and will get the board the end of next week.

	The board has 2MB Flash, 4MB DRAM, 10/100M Ethernet, and
60MHz SH7612.  I believe the board has enough spec for uClinux.

	I've heard this gcc probrem.  User programs will be damaged.
I'd better investigate this first ...
