Okay, I'm afraid I'm totally failing to get to grips with the build
system. I can't even figure out how to create a project --- there appear
to be bits all over the place.

What I'd really like is a simple set of C files and headers that I can
pull out and drop into the build system for the rest of my project; I've
actually tried, and got a lot of it building, but link stage beat me.

Are there any blow-by-blow instructions on how to set up a new project
that does as little as possible ('Hello world', or even less)?

Also, unfortunately life has become more exciting: the very old ARM
binaries which I want to run turn out to only run in USR26 mode... which
became obsolete after, I think, ARMv3. Certainly the ARMv4 programming
model doesn't claim to support it. So I need to go and hunt down
binaries that will run in 32 bit mode; they're around, but I don't
currently have access to them.

Still, it'll give me a chance to get up and running with OKL4 first...
