Doesn't look like the whole package can compile on other architectures
since it has assembler. I don't know squat about cross compilation other
than using toolchain, and it shouldn't be needed here if we only want
isomarkboot.
Recipe for compiling just isomarkboot:
cd aboot-0.9/tools
fix the #include in ../include/utils.h
to use the kernel's linux/include/asm-alpha/hwrpb.h
make isomarkboot
I have an i386 executable
http://natasha.stmarytx.edu/pub/linux/isomarkboot
if anyone is so foolish to want to try it.
I will attempt a alpha CD build tonight after the mirror update to see if
it looks even vaguely successful. I think I have additional problems
with the alpha CD build.
What is the best way to tell if the CD is functional after building on i386?
Torture the alpha requesters here with the iso image? ;)
