[Buildroot] Adding a new architecture

[Marc Gauthier]

Hi,

We've ported buildroot to the Xtensa architecture.
(It currently lives on linux-xtensa.org .)
At some point in the near future, we'll be getting ready to submit
the port to the buildroot patch tracker.

Shall we simply submit the whole thing in one big patch?

We'll omit unrelated fixes that we can post later.  However, some
of the changes touch common code.  Do we post some of these first?

Thanks,
-Marc

Hi Marc,

It's great to hear about new port!

Think small logical isolated patches for submission are better because they are easier
for review and test.

I think patches to common code can go independently of arch related patches.

Ivan

FYI...
Well, cross out that "near", a few things came up, but we are
back to work on it.  I just won't promise any timeframe this time :-)

I'm sure we'll have more questions once we get closer to submission.

Thanks,
-Marc

Heh, those things happen ;)
