Not true, the kernel is the only part that can easily be cross- developed. Apart from a separate kernel build tree, all you need is the correct `config' program matching your desired kernel. The only referenced headers inside /usr/include for a kernel build are those required by the couple of build utilites that is created inside the compile area (and for them, it's correct to reference the headers from /usr/include). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
