Date: Tue, 8 Dec 2009 03:17:07 -0600 User-Agent: KMail/1.11.2 (Linux/2.6.28-16-generic; KDE/4.2.2; x86_64; ; ) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Message-Id: <200912080317.08254.rob@landley.net> Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Perl was introduced as a build dependency in 2.6.25. My cross-compile environment does not use perl, so ever since then I've patched it back out. With these patches I've personally built kernels for x86, x86_64, arm, mips, powerpc, sparc, sh4, and m68k. -- Latency is more important than throughput. It's that simple. - Linus Torvalds
