Trying to track other kernel updates in a unique 8xx tree would not be spending time wisely :-). I created an 8xx directory from the beginning to contain those things unique to the 8xx. Right now, it contains drivers and functions unique to the CPM or other 8xx I/O. The only things we really need unique to the embedded processors are support libraries. They need to be compiled with software floating point, and minimal. I was finally successful today building the glibc SRPM for the 8xx processors. I will drop it on the server and build a new embedded root file system image with them. -- Dan [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
