[ELDK] 4.2 vs 5.x

[Michael Steiger]

Hi Wolfgang,
I have a question regarding the use of ELDK 5.x.

On 16.11.2012 13:46 Wolfgang Denk said the following:

I still use a hardware device containing a ppc85xx board which is
preloaded by the supplier with a 2.6.24 ELDK 4.2 based Linux.

Shall/Can I use ELDK 5.x to generate binaries for this platform?
I have not looked at the newer ELDK versions but I assume that they use
newer libraries which are not compatible with this old system.

Correct?

Thanks and regards,
Michael
