I think we should try and separate the errors cases from the warnings
only ones - those boards with build errors need to be fixed, or
removed.

We can clean up warnings then, as we go on.

I guess it's additional warnings. You will see even more when using
ELDK 5.x

yeaffs is generic code, i. e. it ends up on my plate.

You need a big endian ARM compiler for the ixp systems.

Agreed.

I realize that command does have its fascination, even under circum-
stances such as these, but I neither enjoy the idea of command nor am
I frightened of it. It simply exists, and I will do whatever logi-
cally needs to be done.
