Hi,
I have also been working for a while on libax25, ax25-apps and
ax25-tools adaptation for compilation with 2.6 kernels and recent compilers.
All is working quite well together with Rose-FPAC switching node and
LinFBB BBS applications with last 2.6.22 stable kernel.
I would be glad to share my experience and results with other
developpers. We could compare our solutions.
My work is publically available here :
AX25
http://f6bvp.free.fr/logiciels/ax25/libax25-0.0.11.2src_f6bvp.tgz
http://f6bvp.free.fr/logiciels/ax25/ax25-tools-0.0.8.2src_f6bvp.tgz
http://f6bvp.free.fr/logiciels/ax25/ax25-apps-0.0.6.2src_f6bvp.tgz
ROSE-FPAC
http://f6bvp.free.fr/logiciels/rose-fpac/fpac327-2src.tar.gz
FBB BBS patch against f6fbb704j
http://f6bvp.free.fr/logiciels/BBS-f6fbb/fbbsrc.704l.patch
http://f6bvp.free.fr/logiciels/BBS-f6fbb/xd704j-src.tgz
There are newer versions of FPAC (fpac327-4) and BBS (xd704m), but less
stable. Work is still in progress...

I'm using the latest patches from Debian since that seemed to be the latest
I could find. Because my current builds are targeted at a 2.4 series kernel in
an embedded system they work with a few small patches but I'm planning
on switching to 2.6 as soon as possible.
There appears to be a misconception that 2.6 requires new tools. Notice
that Ralf said newer Linux distributions (meaning newer libc, gcc etc)
rather than newer kernels.
Correct. Binary compatibility across kernels is one of the holy grails
in Linux and AX.25 is not exception to that. Unfortunately that's a
little different for source code of the tools which at times may need a
little update to compile on a more recent system.
Thanks, I figured that out last night when I discovered my cross-compile
issues were environment related :-)
Still it would be nice to have a release with any bug-fixes.
