I believe the libraries and applications were built off of the hardhat distribution. We are able to run the 2.4.x version of the kernel on the Atlas board but are seeing problems with some of the executables. I examined the Changes file and am in the process of upgrading the following binaries/libraries.. GNU C 2.7.2.3 binutils 2.9.1.0.22 util-linux 2.10g modutils 2.3.0 e2fsprogs 1.18 pcmcia-cs 3.1.13 ppp 2.4.0b1 I am seeing problems with executables such as awk, groff, troff, etc. Will I need to rebuild each of these applications against the new libraries to run or should they still function after I have upgraded the previously mentioned packages? Are there mipsel version of these packages (either source or binaries) available somewhere? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
