Re: Automated arm-linux-gcc and powerpc-linux-gcc build script

[Joe deBlaquiere <jadb at redhat dot com>]

My solution to this has always been to specify ARCH,PROCESSOR, and 
INCDIR. Here's the StrongARM version...

     (cd $sysroot_stage1/usr ; \
      $MAKE -I$kernel_src ARCH=arm PROCESSOR=armv INCDIR=sa1100 
TOPDIR=`pwd` symlinks include/linux/version.h)

What somebody really needs to do is determine how generic something like 
this is. My initial guess is that the compiler is probably accepable for 
any armv system. Any reason to suspect otherwise?
