Eric set me up, but the instructions to generate a key using ssh-keygem on the buildroot web page seems outdated. Does not say that you should generate a passphrase, so I didn't. ssh-keygen seems to have generated a passphrase on its own, and I have no clue what it is so I can't access the svn server using ssh. When I try to log in, I also get a Password request, even though Eric tells me that he set me up without a password. I generated a new key with a known password and sent it to Eric's but he is off the line again and I have no clue when he catches up. On the gcc 3 issue, I think the best approach would be to simply split up the exiting gcc make fragment into two files where one is dedicated to gcc-3 and the other to gcc-4 and developmet is stopped for the gcc-3 branch, but still in the buildroot tree. I.E: minimal effort... Eventually I will come to a point where I do not need gcc-3, but just not yet. > > I don't care much about the host compiler.
