get a better understanding of how this all works?  :)  I've used IDEs
for so many years and am now trying to use GCC but have very little
understanding of makefiles.  I've tried porting EFSL over but just end
up with so many make errors I give up in frustration.

Just for fun, I downloaded EFSL and compiled it to create an AVR
library and an ARM library using the respective GNU toolchains.  No
warnings or errors.  The instructions for the AVR target apply to the
LPC target where no build instructions are given.  The only real issue
is creating config.h from one of the prototypes in the 'conf' directory.

Download the file to a directory, say ~/EFSL. Then:

[rstofer@DellPWS EFSL]$ ls
efsl-0.2.7.tar.bz2  manual-0.2.7.pdf <= source files and manual

[rstofer@DellPWS EFSL]$ bunzip2 efsl-0.2.7.tar.bz2

[rstofer@DellPWS EFSL]$ tar -xvf efsl-0.2.7.tar
...
tar output omitted
...
[rstofer@DellPWS EFSL]$ ls
efsl-0.2.7  efsl-0.2.7.tar  manual-0.2.7.pdf <= efsl directory created

[rstofer@DellPWS EFSL]$ cd efsl-0.2.7/conf

[rstofer@DellPWS conf]$ ls
config-sample-avr.h    config-sample-lpc2000.h
config-sample-linux.h  config-sample-nios2.h

[rstofer@DellPWS conf]$ cp config-sample-lpc2000.h config.h

[rstofer@DellPWS conf]$ cd ..

[rstofer@DellPWS efsl-0.2.7]$ ls
conf  examples  linuxutils    Makefile-LINUX    src
docs  inc       Makefile-AVR  Makefile-LPC2000  testfiles

[rstofer@DellPWS efsl-0.2.7]$ make -f Makefile-LPC2000
...
compiler output omitted -- no errors, no warnings
...

[rstofer@DellPWS efsl-0.2.7]$ ls
conf  examples  libefsl.a   Makefile-AVR    Makefile-LPC2000  testfiles
docs  inc       linuxutils  Makefile-LINUX  src
[rstofer@DellPWS efsl-0.2.7]$

libefsl.a (the efsl library) was created.
