I have been looking into this. In my opinion a new branch from .dev is
the better way to acheive this goal than try and update the oz354x to
a new release.

This opinion is acheived due to two factors. 1) The lack of developers
means porting and testing for .dev is a long process. 2) There have been
many many build fixes in .dev which are not in .oz354x, these for one
stop me being an effective developer as my base machine is amd64.

My suggestion would be to take the versions defined by angstrom-2007.1
but make use of gcc 3.4.4, binutils-2.16 and glibc 2.3.5 and work from
this point on stabalising.

Otherwise I think we risk OZ 3.5.5 taking forever and getting slated for
many many old versions of software.

Thanks
