[ELDK] eldk testing

[Derek Cameron]

Hi

I've found out why the ramdisk image did not work.

In the lib folder within the ramdisk there are various symbolic links for files that are not there.

Looking into it further, the libraries.list file within the SELF.tar.bz2 references the wrong files.
The file references lib/ld-2.5.so, lib/libc-2.5.so and various others with version of 2.5.
This version should be 2.6 not 2.5, eg. lib/ld-2.6.so, lib/libc-2.6.so.

Thanks

Derek
