FWIW, there was some mention of this on lkml. http://testing.lkml.org/slashdot.php?mid=313689 Looks like it may have quickly been put in the "Too Hard" basket. The bulk of the 15Mb patch, however, is not a port per se, but addition of kdbg and XFS, so there won't be anywhere near that much real work. Here's an important one, however, which I alluded to yesterday: +ifdef CONFIG_BCM4710 +GCCFLAGS += -m4710a0kern endif I haven't tried building and running a kernel built without the gcc workarounds, so I don't know whether they are only required for early silicon. My guess would be not. Is there anyone from Broadcom here who knows or can find out? -- Charlie
