First off, there is no silver-bullet to versions that do what you want :) on x86, i usually use selected snapshots of busybox, uClibc and normally use gcc-4_2-branch, 4.1.1 should work just fine. Binutils 2.17 and the 2.17.x.y.z.a.b.c version tend to work for me. I normally select generic x86 device to build a kernel to play with. The 2.6.19 kernel (also used for the kernel-headers) works satisfactorily well for me, as do the headers. I strip that silly -Werror off busybox' Makefile.flags, of course, as i have gcc patches that make compilation a bit verbose and would prevent alot of code to build with -Werror, fwiw. >I hope I'm not unreasonable when I ask these, thank you for _any_ help. np.
