Hi xeno.sim.patch contains some clarification on how to build the xenoscope. (GCC 3.4 worked for me on a x86 system, but with a lot of warnings, that fwritable is deprecated)
xeno.patch is a shorter way how to cross-compile using the CROSS_COMPILE variable. It worked for me without any problems for my board. Also contains a hint to use O=../a-build-dir to compile the linux kernel. Best regards -- Niklaus Giger
