I’ve just finished uploading the files for devkitARM release 21.

• Upgraded to gcc 4.1.2
• Added gdb by popular request
• Now including libraries for ARM big-endian devices - this relates to a request from the winARM maintainers, not DS related.
• Newlib patches extended to allow time() to work on the DS
• argv has been added - this will require support from the homebrew launcher menu on various cards
• ndstool now uses the default arm7 core distributed with libnds in preference to an embedded one
• Now working on Vista/Vista64 - users who were impatient and modified paths should now remove those changes

devkitARM release 21

devkitARM release 21 requires libnds 20071023 - the argv and time additions have part of the implementation in libnds. The latest DS crt0 also calls extra startup code not present in earlier libnds versions.

• some freeBSD fixes to makefiles
• added RTC setup and sound initialisation to arm7 core
• corrected glViewport for openGL consistency ( old spelling was glViewPort) , correct angle for gluPerspective and corrected glFrustum matrix
• IRQ nesting now works properly
• other more general fixes detailed in the changelog on SF
• DS examples updated for latest libnds
