None that I know of. As far as I understand, the h8300 target was more
or less abandoned at that time.

Would using gcc 4.4.7 solve the C++ compilation problem? Do you have
usage of the CLI CIL frontend?

I still have migration of debian package to bibo brickos on my todo
list, but not enough time to do it yet.

Thanks for your work on the RCX!

Nicolas.
