+I would like to thank these fine people for making crosstool-NG possible:
+
+  Dan KEGEL, the original author of crosstool: http://www.kegel.com/
+    Dan was very helpfull and willing to help when I build my first toolchains.
+    I owe him one. Thank you Dan!
+    Some crosstool-NG scripts have code snippets coming almost as-is from the
+    original work by Dan.
+
+And in order of appearance on the crossgcc ML:
+
+  Allan CLARK for his investigations on building toolchains on MacOS-X.
+    Allan made extensive tests of the first alpha of crosstool-NG on his
+    MacOS-X, and unveiled some bash-2.05 weirdness.
+
+  Enrico WEIGELT

+
+  Willy Tarreau:

+    - reported mis-use of $CT_CC_NATIVE
+
+  Matthias Kaehlcke:

+
+Special dedication to the buildroot people for maintaining a set of patches I
+happily and shamelessly vampirise from time to time... :-)

+20100530: Status of this file
+
+It's been about a year now that we've moved the repository to Mercurial.
+The repository now has proper authorship for each changeset, and this is
+used to build the changelog at each release. This file will probably no
+longer be updated, and is here to credit people prior to the Mercurial
+migration, or for people discussing ideas or otherwise helping without
+code.
+
+If you think you deserve being cited in this file, do yell at me! ;-)
