Hello Chris
the paths can change with compiler or linker options in makefile. i did not know what change your build have. My gcc port is too very simular to gcc build of other platforms and in the page i give you link, is instruction how can build easy.see attached files. on newer gcc the libs can not compile. there are no programs that need the new libs i know so far. teh build stop with error, after the important thing(the compilers is compile). many ports are done with the GCC 4.5 with full optimize, so it know as stable. but intresting to see if GCC 7.2 give more speed
maybe this build can work with netsurf too. i try to compile 7.2 and let you know. see how easy should possible to build a new version. work with 4.3.2 and 4.5. lets see if can work with 7.2 too

GCC needs to be integrated into the toolchain:
http://git.netsurf-browser.org/toolchains.git/tree/m68k-unknown-amigaos
A "standalone" build of GCC is not helpful as the paths are different.
When I upgraded to 3.4 I managed to mostly copy across the patches
from https://github.com/cahirwpz/amigaos-cross-toolchain
Most of the other ports I've seen for 68k (including a fork of that
one for gcc6) are an entire repository with the changes integrated.
Whilst that can theoretically be cloned and built within the
toolchain, it's a pain to have to change everything to accomodate it
only to have to switch everything around again when the next gcc port
comes along by somebody else with different ideas on how it should be
maintained.
My preference would be to go as new as possible so it doesn't have to
be done again for a long time.

Wy netsurf can render on amiga version from chris only if all is load. on windows show page earlier and later load images or other parts
by Bernd R
Hi,
I test netsurf windows 3.6 version and amiga os 68k on winuae version with the register page(link in netsurf default page)
the text of the page is much earlier show and 4-5 sec later is show the top image. on the amiga version, the page is only show, when all images are load. I see no setting to change this
BTW: the amiga version crash often, seem compile with GCC 3.4. GCC 3.4 is very buggy in C++. netsurf is no c++, but when a lib maybe use C++ code it can do random memtrash.use of GCC 4.5 on cygwin give good results.
