Re: [GAR] Problems to real cross-compile with gar

	Do you mean that you're building the LNX-BBC tree?  From CVS?
If so, this should probably be discussed on one of the LNX-BBC lists.
Also, the LNX-BBC project has stopped using CVS in favor of arch.

	Here's a bit of discussion we had in the #lnx-bbc channel a
while back:

08:57 <clusterboy> looking at why PPC breaks today.  uClibc wants NUV'd
08:58 <@CrackMonkey> aha
08:59 <clusterboy> right now, it borks on sendfile.c, line 28...which is powerpc specific for 64-bit
09:26 <@CrackMonkey> heh
09:26 <@CrackMonkey> do you have regular PPC builds going?
09:28 <clusterboy> pre-2.6 were building
09:32 <@CrackMonkey> aha
09:32 <@CrackMonkey> from research?
09:45 <|0__0|> or HEAD I suppose
11:19 <clusterboy> that was "HEAD" in the day, converted to research, then tweaked back to 2.4
11:37 <@CrackMonkey> aha

	I'll see if I can get clusterboy to publish his PPC branch.
