With the previous version, I was able to build all kernel module with 3.2.64 kernel but the build was broken 3.4+ kernel and with 3.2.64+ kernel due to a backported patch. As Karoly said, most of those drivers has been merged upstream (3.18~3.19), I'm not sure we want to add a lot of patches to be able to build with stable kernel release 3.4.y, 3.10.y, 3.12.y, 3.14.y. Nevertheless, we can add this option with a big warning and say that the kernel modules has been build and tested with a limited number of kernel version, at least 3.2.64. > > - package/gdb: disable shared build for host-gdb > http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/449686/ > See also, http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/460494/ but I'm not very convinced.
