[ELDK] Want to build a ebc.ko object

[Price, John @ SDS]

Thank you for responding.

>What exactly is it what you want?

I have the Kilauea evaluation board with the following pieces of
software, u-boot.bin, env.bin, Kilauea.flashfs, ramdisk.imp, and
kernel.img.

I am most interested in being able to create from source code the uImage
file (or if you like the kernel.img).  What I do not understand is which
target packages are used to build uImage, lets say
uImage-2.6.25-rc-01207-g66b3fa2. 

Should I just perform the following command?

git clone http://www.denx.de/git/linuxppc_2_6_denx.git linuxppc_2_6_denx

Then follow the DULG manual, section 6.2 instructions to build the
kernel?

It was not my first choice. The git for the tarballs has been running
all day so far.

I am currently using fedora core 6 as my build host.

I'm pretty certain that you do *not* want to rebuild  the  ELDK  from
scratch.  It  may  be a very educational procedure, but it is a time-
consuming process and usually considered a major PITA.

Also note that known-to-be working build environments include
RedHat-7.3 and Fedora Core 5 (both with all updates installed) only.
On other systems, you will probably have to adapt / fix the build
scripts. To be honest, I would not do this voluntarily.
