[kaffe] ARM Cross-Compile using GNU EABI

[Leandro Galvez]

Hi,

Tried compiling with --with-engine=intrp, option still cannot make it run. 
Still the same bus error message. Can't I just borrow anybody else's cross 
compiled kaffe and copy to my arm development board? Does anybody have the a 
complete procedure (with command lines) for cross compiling kaffe and 
dependent libraries and be able to make it run properly on ARM development 
board? JUst would like to make it run even simple applications. My device is 
ARM920T and my toolkit is GNU ARM EABI. So desperate been trying this for 
weeks now. My host machine cannot emulate my ARM target maybe because I have 
separate images for u-boot and linux kernel. It's saying it's unable to load 
compressed u-boot images when I pass uImage file as kernel image. Please 
help.

Thanks and best regards,
Andy
