RE: Cross compile kernel w/ buildroot toolchain

["Kurt Schwemmer" <kurts@vitesse.com>]

I didn't touch any of the source yet. 

I'm downloading the 1/10/05 2.6.15 tarball (
ftp://ftp.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.15.tar.gz
)now to see if that fixes things.

In response to Thiemo's message the error with (V=1) is:

Also, assembler -v output:
