Aron Griffis has been working on this and has posted detailed instructions on the Xen wiki: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/CrossCompiling These instructions are based on Fedora8, which should be readily available. I'd like to request that an ia64 cross compile be added to the regression testing between the staging and the published development trees. This should allow us to more quickly catch obvious breaks between the architectures. I would also request that anyone making low level changes that might affect other architectures, consider adding this to your testing. It's quite trivial to setup an HVM domain with a cross compiler and build environment given the instructions above. Thanks, Alex -- Alex Williamson HP Open Source & Linux Org.
