Hummm, for building linux distribution for embedded systems I think you at-least need three types of packages to create: 1- rootfs 2- linux kernel 3- user space tools and utilities (also header files found in /usr/include/) Kernel won't provide you those user-space header-files, so you need to consult how-to create own linux distributions (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ can give you good help) and you can also consult other open-source/free embedded system tool-chains/distributions (like http://snapgear.org/ it also provides ARM based tool-chains) I hope this helps. -- Fawad Lateef -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
