Hi all,
we had a problem compiling the linux kernel using scratchbox for an arm big endian target in the qemu-armeb environment. The compilation stopped when executing the split-include utility during the kernel compilation phase. split-include exited with an error of the stat64 syscall, executed in the environment emulated by qemu. qemu seemed to ignore the fact that in big endian systems the fields st_blocks and its padding are swapped (to allow future expansion of the field,) so the fix consisted only in swapping the two fields (only in big endian systems, of course.)

if someone is interested in a patch we can send it on the list,
regards,

fabio & michael
