fyi, you can get to this page from :

	http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=343

you can do:
	wget http://downloads.viaarena.com/WinCE/Apr04/fastboot%20v2.01.zip
	unzip fastboot%20v2.01.zip
  	strings */*/loader?.obj | grep -i linux

it gives you stuff like :

_linuxbios_versionR
_linuxbios_extra_versionX
_linuxbios_build`
_linuxbios_compile_timef
_linuxbios_compile_byp
_linuxbios_compile_hostv
_linuxbios_compile_domainz
_linuxbios_compiler~
_linuxbios_linker
_linuxbios_assembler


etc, etc.

also that http page mentioned above has contact info. perhaps something to
inquire at.
