Well that may have been the original intent but in the thread "Re: kilauea compilation breaks with v3.3 kernel and ELDK 4.2" we're seeing 4xx break 8xx as the 8xx binutils (in use) doesn't have a mfdcrx instruction. So by breaking it up we gain a small decrease in compile times, less chance of a very targeted build breaking an unrelated board. We do as you point out potentially delay discovery of breakage for some time. I don't mind either way but the patch is out there now :) Yours Tony
