Re: [PATCH 0 of 1] Crosstool-NG support for Linux 2.6.32.3 and explain 2.6.27


Joachim, All,

Hey! You've been quite prolific recently! :-)

In crosstool-NG, we should not recommend any particular version. If we
did, people may be inclined to believe some QA was passed, and that we
can't afford.

That's a non-issue for crostool-NG, as only the headers are used, but...
Oh! well... Ack.

I'm testing a few changes atop your patches, and they will pop up
soonish...
