Yes !
Here I am all set up with CVS and 4.1-CROSS of June07 (the last
version before toolchain
support lost a link ) and afraid to try building me a kernel because the
big guys don't use it and i am no kernel/systems hacker-- but I am someone
who needs to build custom kernels and needs to get more experience with
foreign architectures which is why I picked up 68k.
I will try and go ahead and build and let you/list know how/if it works for me
machine: mac quadra 630, 128MB RAM.
os: debian sid updated to June 07.
