Actually what you should be looking for is "uses CROSS_COMPILE" Currently we don't seem to call LD directly so as long as gcc can find the proper one we are ok. > What's the usual naming convention for the cross compiler and cross > linker of a given platform?

Just don't forget that ultimately if we can fix the dependencies in the tree we both -a and my caching of what actually built successfully should be trivial. Note: I had to tweak the parser so it would work when I specified where the linuxbios tree was. It was putting single quotes around the pathname nad ls was not really fond of './freebios2/'/src/mainboard ....
