Trying to use ELDK to build Ebony/440GP

[brian.auld at adic.com]

Matt,

Thanks for the response. I was pretty surprised myself and to say the least
am not having a very good day.

Regarding the linuxppc_2_4_devel build attempt, these were the steps I took:

In fact, I'm going to run it again on my linux box as I regurgitate the
steps I previuosly took:

Prerequisites:
==============
- running RH8.0
- ELDK 2.0.2 installed with ppc_4xx tool chain (check)
- linuxppc_2_4_devel obtained from monte vista mirror (check)
(1) top-level Makefile hacked to read:
    - ARCH := ppc
    - CROSS_COMPILE = ppc_4xx-
(1) make mrproper
(2) make ebony_config
(3) make oldconfig
    - I accept default(s) for about 10 options I'm prompted for.
(4) make dep
(5) make zImage

When I run make zImage, I get the following error message:

I can't imagine why any ppc4xx toolchain couldn't build a properly
configured linuxppc_2_4_devel ebony kernel.  It's working right now
for my toolchain (mvista)...I haven't used ELDK for a little while now.

I take you have done the following?:

	make ebony_config
	make oldconfig
	make dep zImage

Where you have hacked ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE in the top-level Makefile
or have a script which passes in the appropriate prefix for your
toolchain.  i.e. "make ARCH=ppc CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_405- <rule>"
