SimpleScalar in gcc4 and osx

I am using SimpleScalar for a hardware course and had issues building it in osx and recent linux distros. I have created a patch for building SimpleScalar 3.0d with gcc4 and also added osx support.

To apply it, download simplesim-3v0d.tgz, extract the archive, save my patch to the "simplesim-3.0" directory and type this on the command-line:

$ cd simplesim-3.0
$ patch -p1 < simplesim-3v0d_fixed.patch

I have tested that in osx using Apple's gcc 4.0.1, and in Fedora 8 using gcc 4.1.2. Feel free to contact me if you have questions or issues. I will try to respond and help if I can.
