Greetings, This is a follow up to earlier postings discussing the development status of BrickOS.

(...) I think we need to stick with 2.16.1, I don't know whether porting brickos to elf is really worth the trouble. Newer gcc versions would be nice, indeed, and brickos also builds fine with (some of?) these, but I never actually got it to run on (...) (15 years ago, 31-Jan-09, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
