Well I use a coldfire here, with 2.6.29 kernel at the moment. I don't even want to consider 2.4 kernels anymore. Why bother? I do NOT use uclinux-dist at all, I use: uclibc 0.9.30.1 binutils 2.19.1 elf2flt from blackfin checked out 2009-04-20 gcc 4.3.3 busybox 1.14.1 Very minimal patching was needed to compile everything, and I believe uclibc in the git tree no longer needs any patching since the syscall stuff was all cleaned up and deamon() now doesn't fail to compile anymore. busybox needed a makefile patch to make it not try to compile the crypto stuff that I didn't ask for anyhow, and which fails to compile on coldfire. Seems to work pretty well so far. -- Len Sorensen _______________________________________________ uClinux-dev mailing list uClinux-dev@uclinux.org http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/listinfo/uclinux-dev This message was resent by uclinux-dev@uclinux.org To unsubscribe see: http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/options/uclinux-dev
