Hi Pavarotti, >1. I believe I have met the prerequisites. I have been programing and compiling other applications, drivers, and kernel images without problems. What else could I have missed? I don't know. >2. My output has an xgcc. What is xgcc? or where I can find the info about xgcc? You are intentionally building a cross-compiler, correct? >Is xgcc just the gcc but with a different name? I believe xgcc is GCC built as a cross-compiler. You did add the cross-compiler --target flag, which is for creating a cross-compiler (as per <http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html>). HTH, --Eljay
