[LV] Newbie - where to start?

[Neale Banks]

HI,

Firstly, thanks for the feedback.

I'm not convinced we're thinking along the same lines here:

* if I'm not likely to get into compiler hacking, will I need a SVN
checkout of GCC (as distinct from a recent release, e.g. 4.1.1 from May,
possibly plus a patch or three)?

* Would a similar approach to binutils be OK?

* I haven't got near having a built, let alone booting, kernel yet: will
I have a use for uClibc, or is that for "later"?

What I think needs to happen here is that I build a working
cross-compiler/binutils - so I can cross-compile a kernel.  Or have I
missed something?

For the kernel, what are the options?  Are there "linux-vax" patches to
apply against a current kernel.org release (e.g. latest -rcX)?  Or must
I track sources/patches with GIT?

Thanks,
Neale.
