If you build it old-ABI, it probably will. But note that the Fedora/ARM port itself is built entirely EABI, which needs at least a 2.6.12-ish kernel to run -- so it'll be hard to run binary packages built for Fedora/ARM on your gp2x device. > Would it be possible to add support for this kernel to the Fedora-arm glibc?

As I said above, if your board runs an old-ABI userland, it is unlikely that you'll be able to run Fedora/ARM binaries on it. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
