Say what? Jim, did you go and completely change the build method on your own without even consulting Ryan? If this is true and I were Ryan I would be mighty p'ed off. Hopefully Ryan will turn up here soon and will be willing to debate the cross-lfs stuff because I now have some good insights and constructive things to offer. Jim, I don't know how to say this without sounding offensive, so please accept my apologies in advance if I'm totally off the planet, but quite frankly, I don't believe you have the necessary know-how to be making fundamental changes to the cross build method. After looking at your commit in detail, it's quite clear to me that you've "borrowed" elements of my research when making these massive changes. I don't mind you doing that, because it's a step in the right direction, but could you please do the proper and ethical thing and at least give credit where credit is due? I suspect Gerard and Matt will be rather unhappy if their team members are participating in unethical practices. For the record, I've learned a lot from studying Ryan's scripts and should I ever produce some cross compilation documentation I will be acknowledging the work in Cross-lfs, along with Crosstool, etc, etc, etc...
