[ELDK] rebuilding arm crosstool package

Dear Gabriel,

May I ask why you want to do that?

He. This will not work. You must not expect that somewhat recent tool
versions will be usable on such an old kernel version.

Please use ELDK 3.1.1 for 2.4 kernels.

Which SRPM did you install - the eldt package from
ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/eldk/4.2/arm-linux-x86/sources/SRPMS/crosstool-0.43-3.src.rpm
or the target package from
ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/eldk/4.2/arm-linux-x86/sources/target/SRPMS/crosstool-0.43-3.src.rpm
?

The manual says you shall run:

	$ <ELDK_root>/usr/bin/rpmbuild -ba <package_name.spec>

You mention only "rpmbuild" - note that this will probably pick up
/usr/bin/rpmbuild in your setup, which is different from
<ELDK_root>/usr/bin/rpmbuild

I guess there must have been other, earlier error messages as well.

See above.
