What kernel are you trying to build?  there is a slightly newer kernel 
available that fully supports the efika but nothing newer than a 2.6.31 based 
kernel.

we must create a git repo in somewhere and write a spec file for
smartbook kernel, so we can use arm buildservers to build the kernel.

gitourius may be a good place, we can create a clone of the repo with
a spec file.

Hi Dennis,

I am trying to build a kernel from 
git://gitorious.org/efikamx/linux-kernel.git. The newer might have been 
misleading; the main reason I am doing this is because I am working with 
systemtap that needs some addition build kernel tree and debuginfo to build 
instrumentation modules, like what is described in 
http://omappedia.org/wiki/Systemtap .

If was possible to make this an rpm like the omap one mentioned in 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/Fedora_ARM_Kernels, that would be 
great.

if I see correctly then your question was answered and problem resolved,
so just for completeness - John Linville created an updated
cross-compiler some time ago -
