Question: I'm building a kernel for the 8610. Why is treeboot-walnut.c being compiled at all?Policy. Compiling everything means build bugs - like this one - can be found by everybody, not just those building for the specific obscure platform.Of course, it also introduces bugs that wouldn't have been an issue if we didn't try to build everything with the same toolchain. :-P I'm also somewhat worried what it'll do to build time as platforms accumulate.
It also provides incentive to keep the bootwrapper small... -- David Gibson | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you. NOT _the_ _other_ | _way_ _around_! http://www.ozlabs.org/~dgibson
