 3Here's the key details of what worked for me, in case anyone else needs them.
 4There may well be better ways to do some of this, but ....

 8The badge4 has a StrongArm-1110 processor and a StrongArm-1111 coprocessor.

10Assume that the garbage collector distribution is unpacked into /home/arm/gc6.0,
11which is visible to both the ARM machine and a linux desktop (e.g. via NFS mounting).
12
13Assume that you have a file /home/arm/config.site with contents something like the
14example attached below.  Notice that our local ARM toolchain lives in
15/skiff/local.
16
17Go to /home/arm/gc6.0 directory.  Do
18  CONFIG_SITE=/home/arm/config.site ./configure --target=arm-linux
19--prefix=/home/arm/gc6.0
20
21On your desktop, do:
22   make
23   make install
24The main garbage collector library should now be in ../gc6.0/lib/libgc.so.  
25
26To test the garbage collector, first do the following on your desktop
27   make gctest
28   ./gctest
29Then do the following on the ARM machine
30   cd .libs
31   ./lt-gctest
32
33Do not try to do "make test" (the usual way of running the test
34program).  This does not work and seems to erase some of the important
35files.
36
37The gctest program claims to have succeeded.  Haven't run any further tests
38with it, though I'll be doing so in the near future.
