What i would do Is take and build the basic nessesary binaries (ie binutils, g++, bash, etc.) and send them to the target machine (an arm box). then I would focus on building the kernel. I would go for byte-compiling each one as a static object and then going about linking. Have you built a kernel before? Also, Debian has pre-made ARM kernels built -- check out packages.us.debian.org -- there should be a fairly recent kernel simply tar/gz'd (thats How Debs Work). I tired building an LFS (Linux >From Scratch) for an ARM once and it wasnt the most efficient -- timing said that it took a good 6 hours (i left it over night). Hope that helps. (also, using a system like debian gives you a certain amount of flexibility) -- Morgan gangwere "Space does not reflect society, it expresses it." -- Castells, M., Space of Flows, Space of Places: Materials for a Theory of Urbanism in the Information Age, in The Cybercities Reader, S.
