Buildroot is really a system for cross > compilation. Do you do ppc64le->ppc64le cross compilation? How does that > speed up development? Also, I'd be very interested to know if all the quirks we're going to make cross-compilation work effectively on x86, and especially x86->x86, such as ebnsuring the host devel files do not interfere, are still working OK on anything else than an x86 as build host. If at least for that reason, having someone do real-life tests on a non-x86 build host is very nice, since we can discover bugs that do not occur on an x86 build host. I know you, Peter, are running a PPC autobuilder, but that's not really the same as actually using a PPC machien as a devel machine in a real project. Regards, Yann E.
