now this would be really interesting. about 1 year ago i tried to get some information out of hp without much luck. i hope that you will get some more information than did. > On Wed, 28 Feb 2007 14:18:52 -0500 (EST) > Clark Kent <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Can anyone give me a little help here?

(including the complete build-environment...). (clear your build/tmp directory if you already tried to build with other machine/distro settings in order not to mix different toolchain versions.) > > All I want to accomplish right now is setting up a ARM build > > environment so that I may build kernels for this port.
