Re: [Gc-linux-devel] Merging CVS with Kernel source

[Mike G. <eb_...@sb...>]

Indeed. The patch DID work. I now have a working kernel. I don't 
actually have a BBA for my GC yet, but I grabbed a GC emu off the net 
and it works well enough to load the kernel and let me know that it 
compiled properly.

Thanks for the help Arthur.

PS-I never answered your questions, so: Yes, I built it on a PPC host 
(eMac 1GHz, 512MB RAM); and I have no clue what version of binutils I 
was using. It was whatever version came with Yellow Dog Linux 3.0.1. 
Though, after applying the patch, the kernel was built using Gentoo 
Linux (2.6.1-benh1). If you'd still like to know, I can grab the 
bintuils version for you for Gentoo.
