Well that may have been the original intent but in the thread "Re: kilauea compilation breaks with v3.3 kernel and ELDK 4.2" we're seeing 4xx break 8xx as the 8xx binutils (in use) doesn't have a mfdcrx instruction. So by breaking it up we gain a small decrease in compile times, less chance of a very targeted build breaking an unrelated board. We do as you point out potentially delay discovery of breakage for some time. I don't mind either way but the patch is out there now :) Yours Tony --p4qYPpj5QlsIQJ0K Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJPelLqAAoJEEsCiJRY75GK3UgP/jT89ejceTksywe6gVoHb0Uq WeyIxPcX42z8v2/U0hOsD3fVA7m9isHFGDvSpIYKrZLzrO7Q9/YKD5dbl4ok+uEz kcgK9C6rb2o9sOyvBtNyoIF/nGfPzZcnYAgPgcD9FeTFuyLlncKp2IzjZ2FNSyCF bITMUZd7HjIWfK2DkUs7gEeTtfHx9g9a/mAVOMHanIITt/oj5O1owq1XBU1x47P5 uSlQnwhZD9OXTvkULd579LPqlIDgfO3MXny5mRF/SmSk0CORGT/f2r/G5o2JytmU BoXBX1yD/S3rLkqW2XyA0S8jL6gHEqb7qJt4s3rl5NvOGE+e0k3k7AZW4vcbi8o5 nmSKn8P0zl4LT/woRDQclzQda2tRDOsDRprtz0RE9BpeJabmBuG3PFwC5HxgGve5 bXpINhi3wKUF3n1xByrOFeKRIKZCmvzWM/iSIT2RrMuVxLrj3KZP9N+2VizxCWN7 EpYonh0hJu8k6A2EHKjmzZtYkAgtflhvn/VVipOwZQer26qFc0jViEH50j8DWvRJ 1VnywYItzfqbV4ceHvng3w+nkJV26vKhlIIZyLK3TmelDDPiWPgE6DVaEPj0J/HE m9+0zp2PZsFh6alvSRaUUJe777uKkKrqKFBbkjrpX22/rY6OdqauW/JunK31LY3d itvNKqFEGe80QKvw0N3x =8cOm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --p4qYPpj5QlsIQJ0K--
