Try the gcc-dev lists as well. However, I'd like to point out that the DSP 
core in 770 is 55x, not 54x. 55x supports 54x code in emulation mode but I 
don't know the innards of dspgateway nor 770 to be able to say whether 
switching the emulation mode on and off between DSP code is 
possible/feasible. Also, I don't know whether the 55x runs in 54x emulation 
mode by default (and only in emu). I'm sure someone can clarify this (if 
possible).

personally I'd like to see free development tools for the 55x core as it's 
used in 770, but have no time at the moment to participate in gcc-hacking.

ak.
