Oh, how frustrating. I have no idea how I missed that since I feel like I spent quite a while looking for some later update that included the source. Well, thank you for making sure to release it! I did rewrite most of the Retro68 CMake code too, perhaps for similar reasons, so I can understand how that could have been a problem. At least the newer versions of GCC do not have race conditions in their Makefiles, unlike prc-tools-remix. :-)

The work I did was intended to eventually merge and live alongside the existing stuff in Retro68 instead of just blowing it away, with the hope that nothing like this would ever happen again to anyone else, but of course I failed to actually finish the work.

I never submit to OSS. It is the same as editing wikipedia -- every time I try, it is a political mess and nonsense galore. (My reasoning: If you are paying me for work, you are welcome to criticize, request amendments, etc. If you are not paying me for work, you thank me profusely for the free work I offered and take it...or don't. I am uninterested in your opinions in that case, or requests for changes unless they are bugs). Anyways, I never had goals of upstreaming anything. I was just trying to help others who wanted a working toolchain. My patches work well. People (not just me) have used them. There are also patches to PilRC i released that add some more bitmap compression modes and fix bugs with multi-depth fonts.
