Hi, Sasvata!

We are using a RHEL/386 machine to cross-compile for Debian/PowerPC 
(8260) target, a few year old embedded system that we inherited.  The 
kernel is 2.4.9. Using crosstools, and following Dan Kegel's notes, the 
combo we have is gcc-2.95-3/glibc-2.2.5.

Does anybody have any working version using newer versions of the 2.4 
kernel and newer GCC versions for a powerpc-603e target?  One motivation 
is to use BusyBox-1.5.1, but I am told on that list that GCC 2/x is too 
old (I tried before I asked, it doesn't compile).

It's propably painful to work your way through crosstools with such an
old toolchain. I would have a look if one of the ELDK's from
http://www.denx.de can be used for your board - at least for a good start.
If you run into problems with older linux-2.4 kernel version with the newer ELDK's,
you can also go back to some older version?

Any help, pointers, example config files for crosstools, etc. would be 
really appreciated!

You are always welcome at their mailing list. See:

Best greets,
