Hi Brian: YDL for now, though I will try Fedora Core 6 or Fedora 7 later.
Now that I think about it, I think kexec can only be built as ppc64 (the ppc target is broken) -- so I wonder if all the other boel binaries got compiled 32-bit, but kexec is 64-bit, then when you run mklibs, somehow it only generated 64-bit of libc.so.6 and is thus causing my current problem... Any further insights would be greatly appreciated.
