Which platform has the > most stable version of Linux 2.4 available? The EV96100 (PMC RM7000 cpu) might do the job. It's overall stable and runs with primary and secondary caches turned on. I merged a network fix yesterday so I need to do a new kernel release and uploaded it to ftp.mvista.com. The previous kernel with the network bug is on the ftp site already. However, if you're only interested in rebuilding libraries for those cpus, why not do a cross-build? We cross build all userland apps including the libraries. Pete
