Okay makes sense let me try clean before building different arch. I am not
doing this at the moment. Would I need to have different toolchains for same
architecture, I was trying to build for all processor types for an arch using a
different toolchain but it failed?
Ones that passed the different cross-compile arch failed at some modules
speciially the net, sound, video, or built_in sections. Let me check this and
revert.
Have you ever compiled a complete end to end allyesconfig for a same or
cross-compile build? allyesconfig gave me dependency/ missing/ invalid entry
errors for cross-compile arch like arm.
TnR,
Ganesh

I do not know why but whether ncurses or menuconfig the build fails at some

I would say a wiser choice would be getting a .config from somewhere and
editing options which you really need to change.
I am not sure if you understand this or not, but you need to have a series of
toolchains for each arch you need to cross compile at different locations.
For different binaries of different arch, I would suggest you use different
directories of same source code. Generally make clean or distclean should get
rid of most binaries, but starting a clean build is always the best idea.
Toolchains can be bit of a pain to get right.
w.r.t. Knoppix, Thank you, let me check the informit link for the architecture
and usage relevance.
