It's ok if the line is missing. A missing > line means "this option is not available". A line starting with "#" > means "the option is available but currently disabled" I want to be sure about that, because there are packages which use the BR2_MIPS_OABI32 symbol. So, maybe having that line starting with "#" means BR2_MIPS_OABI32=n, and everything works fine, and don't having that line at all means that symbol is not defined and the packages which use that symbol fail because of that. That's what I want to know. -- Vincent
