Some errors occurred when building Linux 2.4.36 Kernel used for building cross-compiler

[Dingjun Chen]

Hi again, Kai,

By the way, the software product of our company was developed, but it is not commercial. It is only used by us and could be thought of as an in-house sofeware product.  I am here to explain more about it.

Thanks again and regards,

Dingjun

Ok, you can get some information from your target Linux system... What
about trying to find out what is the 'Linux' now
running on it?  For instance what does the 'libc.so.6' usually in '/lib'
will tell if you run './libc.so.6' in it?

If you have only the shared runtime libraries for your target system but
no development headers and libraries, neither the
'/usr/include/asm*' and '/usr/include/linux' kernel headers, could you
tell why you don't have them? If you have all this
mentioned stuff required for a cross GCC for your target system, it is
hard to understand why you want to rebuild it all from
the sources.
