Hi folks -

Just saw this on Fedora devel a few mins ago:

''Several months ago I mentioned that Red Hat had a cross build
environment which generates embedded root filesystems using Fedora
source rpms.  Today we are making it available.  It is rough around the
edges, but functional.  If people express an interest in it we will see
about putting it on Fedora hosted and have future development take place
there.  All the bits are on the GES FTP server:

ftp://ftp.ges.redhat.com/private/releng/arm-linux-beta

The cross build environment is called 'rpmbuildroot'.  This is the
package you are looking for.  Jump into the docs directory for
information on how to get started (skip the top level README).

For the last while the focus has been on the Nokia N770, <======
so you will find that is what the environment is configured for.  There
are also some mips and am33 patches in there (rpmbuildroot is target
arch independent), but they are unlikely to be valid for any modern
Fedora version.

I took your binutils-cross patch a while ago and added gcc/gdb
cross patches to come up with a way of building cross-toolchains
from Fedora sources:

Just a little straw in the wind...
