Since I've never used (and thus hate) Git, I think that'd be a bad idea. ;-) Although other people would probably like if you forked it, sure, they are obsessed with Git. It's all the rage these days. But I'm useless anyways, so I'm not important here. I'm not sure I'm much help. I really just wanted an actual .dif (text) file here of your changes. Something I could run "patch -i georg.dif" and then "make" and everything would magically just work. > Still a bit puzzled that my instructions did not work for you.

(I absolutely despise the whole Autotools mess, but everyone else seems to love it, ugh.) Perhaps this was only truly meant to be cross-compiled (and, as I implied earlier, maybe it was totally unfinished, but I have not bugged mmeeks directly). > I could also bundle the binaries with Qemu to allow you to replicate what I > did to test.
