Funny, I was just about to ask very similar question. I will be working an a IBM PPC405G based development board (Cogent CSB272) for an internal project. I would like to use as up-to-date versions of GCC, GLIBC and Linux 2.4 kernel as possible (without sacrificing stability). - Has anyone used recently released 2.4.23 (kernel.org) in any PPC project yet? If it is not good to use for PPC based development? Do I need to get a ppc specific modified kernel or do I need to apply any patches to linus 2.4.23 kernel to get it working in PPC405 embedded environment. - Kernel 2.4.x README still says the official kernel compiler is gcc 2.95.3. Is it still the case or using a more recent GCC compiler is now acceptable? In the last Linux embedded project I was in we had used this one along with a very early build of kernel. I was not the one to set the development environment so bear with me if these sound basic questions to you. - I built a toolchain using crosstools based on gcc 3.3.2, glibc 2.3.2 and binutils 2.14.90.0.5. Crosstools default .dat files pull kernel 2.4.21 but I also got the tools compiled using 2.4.23 sources. I have not tested them yet since I don't have the board yet? Any comments regarding this combination? Looking at some ppc linux distros (not necessarily embedded): YDL 3.0: kernel 2.4.20, gcc ? glibc 2.3.1, binutils ? Mandrake: kernel 2.3.21, gcc 3.2.2, glibc, 2.3.1, binutils ? Gentoo: kernel 2.4.22, gcc ? glibc 2.3.2?, binutils ? Tolunay ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
