This iis true.

Well, so you did read the warning. Now please heed it.

I strongly recommend *not* to use ELDK 3.1.1  and  the  included  2.4
kernel  tree  for  any  new work. Please do yourself a favour and use
current code, like a 2.6.24-rcX kernel tree from kernel.org; you  can
use the ELDK 4.1 tool chain for this.

Best regards,

You can love it, change it, or leave it.    There is NO other option.
