I think it is related to: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=63a478fbc05cb0627b0a33a69f3aed8dcb965953 and the fact that the armel/marvell flavour has CONFIG_VFP set now which breaks the heuristic used there. armel/kirkwood had it disabled, but armel/orion5x had it enabled, so the merge of the two took the superset (which was the right thing to do). armel/orion5x had always had it enabled AFAICT. > What should I do to > build a marvell kernel now?
