I've installed that compiler, as well as a ppc64 chroot install from debian-ppc64.alioth.debian.org/gcc4 Have you tried building a kernel with that biarch compiler? What do I set GCC and LD to? I am also having trouble getting a simple test program to link (I'm trying to use the libc.a from the ppc64 chroot) -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Troy Benjegerdes 'da hozer' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Somone asked my why I work on this free (http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/) software stuff and not get a real job.
