Similar fun building PPC, sparc > blobs on i686, etc. I remember the OpenMoko build scripts needing similar tricks where (I think) localization and some other files had to be built on a native arm system. They ended up using qemu in user mode emulation to have a "native" system. Maybe that's a solution for your bios file needs as well? regards, andreas -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
