Cross compiling kernels.

[Mark S. Mathews]

Hello,

I'm currently trying to build a cross compiler (hosted on x86) for
building PPC kernels to run on a single board computer with an MPC850
processor.  I've read a bunch of docs, built the cross compiler from
3 different source trees, and looked at a _bunch_ of kernel stuff (docs
and code). I still have a few unanswered questions:

1) What kernel version is recommended to run the MPC8xx processors?  I've
seen references to 2.1.129, but I'm not sure.

2) What compiler/binutils packages are considered 'best' for this?
The latest I've tried is binutils-2.9.1 and egcs 1.1b

3) Is there a recommended kernel release for running with the MPC8xx
processors?  i.e. on the Moto MBX boards?

TIA,
Mark
