I was thinking of adding NOUNIVERSE tags to the kernels that we didn't want routinely built. I'd rather have a single ARM kernel that can be built for testing purposes. Don't like the multiple defined error being suppressed, but short of some uglyish macros, I can't think of a better way. I've written those 'ugly' macros for my multi-board work, and plan on re-using them for the multi-soc work I intend to do to replace the current "selected too late" SoC support for Atmel. I was thinking we could expand the current set of platform/MD calls (initarm, etc), wrap them in some macros so they could all be compiled together. Not sure if you did this or not... > I can port that to FreeBSD. Shall I make some patches for people > to look at? Sure. I'd love to see it. I'd be happy to preview any partial work if you want early feedbac. Warner
