- You will probably want to get binutils 2.0, since they supposedly have support
- for cross-compiling across systems that have endian differences.
-
- But, not to throw a damper on things I have never been able to get my cross
- compiler to make working executables. I can compile up to the .o stage and
- then take them home and finish, but no executable runs.
-
- I can cross compile the kernel and libraries this way, but nothing else.
