I think at least part of it is a time thing. It's not official so it's not on the urgent to do list. Once it gets in I can imagine other people picking it up again. I know rmk mentioned he played with it, 6 months ago. Which is about when I played with PPC too. I imagine once it gets in other people/arches will start to try too, and probably have a few more suggestions for things that i386/ia64/sparc* haven't run into. -- Tom Rini (TR1265) http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/ _______________________________________________ kbuild-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kbuild-devel
