Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer: matching PlayStation decompilation

Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer is being reconstructed as matching C for the European PlayStation release SCES-021.04. The build uses GCC 2.7.2 and an ASPSX 2.56-compatible pipeline for the main executable and 32 WAD overlays. The author reports a byte-identical rebuild of the executable, overlays, and complete WAD while C replacement remains partial.
