[uml-user] compiling code for the debian root filesystem

[Henry M. <hq...@ai...>]

I am running uml under RedHat 7.2, and am booting uml from the debian 
root_fs image.
I've compiled the 2.4.13 kernel with the uml patches.

I am wondering what the easiest way to compile packages for this world are. If
I try to compile an application like OpenSSH under my redhat world, I can't 
run the binaries
inside the debian world because of some mismatch in shared libraries 
versions, including libc.

What have people found is the easiest way to 'cross compile' binaries that 
use shared
libraries for a UML world that is different than their host Linux version? 
Aside from installing
from precompiled debian .deb packages?

Thanks,
	Henry
