bear in mind that many people, given a linuxbios that would not build on system x.y.z, assumed the problem was linuxbios -- even when it was not. In fact, it has rarely been linuxbios, but has in fact been a particular distro or toolchain. How do you answer the following: "I can build a kernel on this distro just fine, why can't I build linuxbios"?
I think it would be nice if somebody could show us the -fturn-off-this-switch approach and how to put it into the linuxbios build process, and detect that on whatever gcc we're using the turn-off-this-switch does not exist, but can be automagically worked around.
But I would also be extremely grateful to anyone who can show us how to set up linuxbios with the 'use this toolchain' as an option. I think, given the number of distros and the strange ways they are breaking our build process, we have to have this option available to users.
thanks
