I think this reflects using binutils 2.9.1 rather than snapshots. 

There is a problem lurking.

It tool about 20 hours but I built the following:

+ egcs-19980816
+ binutils-2.9.1
+ newlib-1.8.0
+ gdb 4.17
+ rtems current snapshot at the time

for all targets.  I built sh-rtems and sh-rtemself with egcs-19980824.

OK.  I am curious where this is so the bit script can follow it.
