Thanks, I'll do that. I was hoping I could do a quick test with a pre-built toolchain like the ones provided by bootlin, but the stable one they offer was built using Linux 4.19 headers, so I can see how using that build with a 2.6 kernel might cause problems. -- Grant _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@uclibc-ng.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@uclibc-ng.org
