Just a note to say that, so far, using Michael's various kernels and his 
git server, I've built LinuxCNC 2.5.1 on my AMD quad-core machine 
running Ubuntu 10.04LTS and three of his thread scenarios 
(xenomai-kernel, rt-preempt-user, rtai) without any problems. My thanks 
and a tip of the hat to Michael.

I've also built with the xenomai-kernel thread scenario on a dual-core 
Atom netbook running Linux Mint 13. This build required making the 
change to the pow-function definition labelled in Michael's work as 
required for Ubuntu Precise. FYI, Mint 13 installs gcc 4.6.3 and 
binutils 2.22. I believe the problem with pow lies not so much with gcc 
but gcc and ld together, but I've not been able to tease a solution out 
of the GSF readmes. Of course, the netbook sucks, but that's the color 
of a different horse. I used it because it was there. I'm going to drop 
back to a simulator on the netbook so I can play while sitting in 
waiting rooms.

As for my old single-core Pentium 4 box, I'm having problems unrelated 
to this work specifically. Somehow, the new kernels are screwing up my 
Xserver---the screen is blank. I can ssh into the box so with time and 
elbow grease I'm sure I can fix it.

Regards,
Kent
