I don't think so, as it makes it harder to keep trees in sync. It would be nice to have a klibc build environment (maybe klibc is already setup that way, I haven't looked closely), instead of carrying klibc in multiple places. So you could build multiple and perhaps separate tools, and then install them under their own root (i.e. initramfs) directory. -- Patrick Mansfield ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
