I am new to OZ development and I am trying to build my first kernel.

After reading
http://oe.handhelds.org/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/OpenZaurusDevelopmentInformation
and http://oe.handhelds.org/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/ZaurusKernels and many
others, I am just confused about the next step.

First of all, I am running a Gentoo distro. I installed monotone 0.25
and bitbake 1.2.3 from Gentoo ebuilds. I installed all other required
tools.

I was able to pull my oe.db. Here, it is unclear what is dev, dreambox
and oz354x. Afterward, I think dreambox wasn't needed at all and oz354x
was required. I checked out org.openembedded.dev and
ord.openembedded.oz354x.

After reading http://oe.handhelds.org/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/ZaurusKernels it
seems I am supposed to rely on the gcc-2.95 compiler. I am a bit
surprised here, I was thinking Bitbake was providing everything required
to build the toolchain using the gcc-3 compiler series.

Also, it is not well documented (or maybe I just didn't find where this
info is) which one of .dev or .oz354x should be use and why.

So, if someone can give me hints and point me in the right direction, it
will be appreciated.
