Just like all those old mentors that volunteer for FIRST !!
Why do we even bother innovating anyway?

In all seriousness, because it runs natively on linux, supports c++11 and has much better compliance with c++03, has better optimizations, runs faster (AFAIK), and because IT'S SHINY AND NEW!

Also, WRT to the MULTIDIR thing, that's not a fatal error. Double-check that /usr/powerpc-wrs-vxworks/include is a symlink to sys-include/wrn/coreip. Make sure that /usr/powerpc-wrs-vxworks/sys-include contains files that make sense (vxWorks.h, stdio.h, etc.)

I was typing those commands into a post box, not into a terminal, so it might have a typo...
