+From: Margaret Fleck
+
+Here's the key details of what worked for me, in case anyone else needs them.
+There may well be better ways to do some of this, but ....
+   -- Margaret
+
+
+The badge4 has a StrongArm-1110 processor and a StrongArm-1111 coprocessor.  
+
+Assume that the garbage collector distribution is unpacked into /home/arm/gc6.0,
+which is visible to both the ARM machine and a linux desktop (e.g. via NFS mounting).
+
+Assume that you have a file /home/arm/config.site with contents something like the
+example attached below.  Notice that our local ARM toolchain lives in
+/skiff/local.
+
+Go to /home/arm/gc6.0 directory.  Do
+  CONFIG_SITE=/home/arm/config.site ./configure --target=arm-linux
+--prefix=/home/arm/gc6.0
+
+On your desktop, do:
+   make
+   make install
+The main garbage collector library should now be in ../gc6.0/lib/libgc.so.  
+
+To test the garbage collector, first do the following on your desktop
+   make gctest
+   ./gctest
+Then do the following on the ARM machine
+   cd .libs
+   ./lt-gctest
+
+Do not try to do "make test" (the usual way of running the test
+program).  This does not work and seems to erase some of the important
+files.
+
+The gctest program claims to have succeeded.  Haven't run any further tests
+with it, though I'll be doing so in the near future.
