This morning I restarted from stratch to try to solve those ARCH vs KERNEL_ARCH issues, and now I've figured out that I can't even compile anything anymore (with the same .config files as before): $ make ARCH=ppc [...] checking whether we are cross compiling... no [...] I'm...lost and confused. > I normally don't compile my (ppc) kernels within buildroot.

OK, I think that's the straw that broke the camel's back. After a totally wasted month I'm gonna go do something else, like try OpenEmbedded or ELDK. -- Guillaume Dargaud http://www.gdargaud.net/
