And binutils: 2.16 or even 2.15. I want to be able to build some kernel modules, so (correct me if I am wrong) I need EXACT versions of tools/configure options to do so. BTW It looks crazy, those Chinese/Taiwanese developpers (Mele, Edimax, maybe others) seems to be TIED to gcc 3.4.4(3)..... (look at published Edimax toolchains for BR-6204Wg, BR-6104KP...) BTW2: looks Manta(Poland) violates GPL.... : there is NO mention about sources on their web. W.P.
