Did you try implementing this? Without a few other changes (that I couldn't get 100% right) there's problems with the scripts/ and arch/$ARCH/boot/ tools being the wrong binary format. Which is a shame as we could provide a kernel-src package with that stuff fixed. -- Tom Rini Mentor Graphics Corporation
