Already done, hello world works quite well compiled on my x86 box
and run on the board.

I'm hoping to have the TS/Linux kernel (2.4.26) directory structure
put up on my x86 (running Linux 2.6.17) Linux box later today. I'll
the test out the compile. I'll also upgrade Busybox (I noticed dc
doesn't work).

The modules I wrote (bad habit of calling them device drivers, left
over from my SYSV days) work fine under x86 where I can compile
them without any trouble. I've tested them on Linux 2.4 and 2.6 on
x86 boxes. They're compiled separate from the kernel directory
structure. Will this work the same way with the cross compiler
in my path instead of the native compiler? The hello world
example works just fine using 'gcc -O3 hello.c -o hello'. The
kernel and modules are, obviously, a bit more complicated.
