ive just set it up for sh and im gonna do a test then set it up for arm..
isnt the win32sim dead? just use sdl.. the onlyt thing that bugs me
with it is you dont see the debug output easily (well while its
running anyway)... but its still less annoying than copying it to the
player every time to test it.

the image file will be big.. so ill check all compression formats and
see which will work best..

for sdl, im going to setup X on it so it can run a vnc server, so the
sdl sim will work.... do i need to bother with gdb for each target?
and the calmrisk target?

also, for some reason my build size for the archos fm recorder is way
out of whack with other comps (using gcc 3.3.6 and newlib 1.14).. so
if thats bad.. suggest fixes :p
