Sounds like what I want. With a 70MHz ARM w/2MB flash, I don't
want to pile on stuff.

I need an ARM compiler on Windows, so I worry slightly about taking
on this project with my beginner Linux skills. Thought I'd use
it together with Eclipce CDT.
It would be nice with a Mohan build type starting point
(http://www.thisiscool.com/gcc33_mingw.htm), as the
powers that be would like to know that 
I'm not wandering too far off the beaten path. 
Wandering on beaten path all the time is no fun though. :-)
