Hi,

Ok, I'll fixup Kconfig deps then.

I'll try your tree and port over fixes if needed.

 Bernhard> This is fixed with gcc trunk (i.e. 4.4.0).

Ok, we won't get that in BR before the release, so I'll mark it as
BROKEN for now.

Exactly, and apparently no one cares, so I'll mark it as BROKEN for
now. Is nios2 support evan available in upstream gcc?

 >> powerpc: ok
 >> s390: broken in uclibc

 Bernhard> s/broken/not yet supported/

True, but the outcome is the same ;)

 >> sh4: ok
 >> sh64: broken in kernel headers (merged with sh?)

 Bernhard> both sh64 and sh* build fine for me.

Ok, will check.

 >> x86_64: broken in uclibc

 Bernhard> works for me. What's failing?

uclibc build - See bottom of http://uclibc.org/~jacmet/br/x86_64.log

 >> - alpha: I'll retry with the "new" pthreads and see if that works

 Bernhard> there are SH and SH64. SH[234] are just SH variants -- think
 Bernhard> i?86 or mips?e{l,b}

Yes, but the kernel only has arch/sh - Should that also be used for
sh64?

 Bernhard> Strictly speaking this should depend on
 Bernhard> !BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT until it is supported in uClibc. I
 Bernhard> agree that it could just me removed from BR for now.

Ok, will do.
