Thank you Curtis!
OK, stupid followup question I can't resist asking:
Instead of getting into the complications of learning to
cross-compile, why wouldn't I instead just natively compile the kernel
in the TS-7300 itself, using the gcc, glibc, etc. that TS included in
their pre-installed debian image? Of course, the ARM CPU is much
slower than my PC's, but I can get decent disk IO if I compile in an
NFS share from my linux PC. So hopefully it will only take like half
a day. ;)
In other words, is the cross-compiler stuff below somehow necessary,
or just an alternative route to compiling natively that yields faster
compile times (thereby making it preferred)?
Cheers,
Dustin
