I guess the great intel compiler switch had already happened between the old PE based Metrowerks and the "new" gcc. I can vouch that stuff from PR1/PR2 still more or less runs under R5.03 on PowerPC (for example, I managed to get the Metrowerks Java implementation to "somewhat" work under R5.) But stuff from the R3 Interl relelease really just does not work on R4.0 Intel because of the compiler change. I guess if it was still ELF base, it might not have been so bad. Question/observation - with the CELF (Crushed ELF) format, would that not have been enough to make moving the compiler either justifiable (you were crushing the EXE, so the format was different anyway), or impossible (the tools would need to be altered to handle the newer format)? I kind of think the former. I don't really know enough about how the apps were crushed (other than that it was a real PITA if your OS didn't have a map* dictionary* with the right symbols in it.) * Been over 10 years and everything I learned I learned from hacking on BeIA after Be closed shop as an enthusiast, so forgive me if I use the wrong terms.
