That is subtle.  I have to wonder why not '-nommu' and '-mmu' if
that's the difference :-)

Are there other differences between the patches, e.g. features, driver
patches etc.?

In other words, should I use the -big one even though I've got a
no-MMU device?

I'm working on some Sigma Designs no-MMU ARM devices, and I'm taking a
(very) tentative look at porting the code from 2.4.26 to a 2.6 kernel.
Most of Sigma's code is proprietary, but their big kernel patch and
some drivers are GPL, and it seems feasible to port it.

But there's a lot of changes from 2.4 to 2.6, and the recent messages
about 2.6 no-MMU ARM support being virtually non-existent suggest it
might be a lot of work.

Thanks,
