Re: [microblaze-uclinux] Userland support for 2.6.30

what kind of "userland" are you looking for.  I have been working 
heavily recently with apps defined in the ./petalinux-dist/user and 
./petalinux/lib directories.  To date the following new apps are working:

OpenVPN(user: static key only)
OpenSSL(user)
IPRoute2(user)
MPLS-Linux(subsystem to IPRoute2)
XML2(lib: but not really tested)
Sofia-Sip(lib)

BUT!  note two things, one is all this is still within kernel 2.6.20, I 
tried getting a 2.6.30 (or what I thought was it) and it would not compile.
AND!  most of the building is still manual.  Each of these have such 
uniquely defined configure files that generated Makefile require some 
manual intervention so they will cross-compile.  I'm trying to fix this 
problem but its been one heck of a challenge.
