I agree with much that you have said, Rob, and I understand the argument for getting the most gain from the least resources, but I have a philosophical problem with working around the cross-compilation problems instead of fixing them in the upstream packages (or in the autoconf system itself). Once someone fixes the cross-compilation issues for a package, they usually stay fixed, if the fixes are mainlined. -- Tim ============================= Tim Bird Architecture Group Chair, CE Linux Forum Senior Staff Engineer, Sony Corporation of America ============================= -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-embedded" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
