I agree. Once you get comfortable working with the
kernel you will discover the 8xx modifications are minimal.
Trying to track other kernel updates in a unique 8xx tree
would not be spending time wisely :-).
I created an 8xx directory from the beginning to contain
those things unique to the 8xx. Right now, it contains
drivers and functions unique to the CPM or other 8xx I/O.
The only things we really need unique to the embedded
processors are support libraries. They need to be
compiled with software floating point, and minimal.
I was finally successful today building the glibc SRPM
for the 8xx processors. I will drop it on the server and
build a new embedded root file system image with them.
