Historical kernels and kernel-headers?

[larrybaker]

Moonman,

You are right, gcc is 4.8.2.

I remembered I had a TonidoPlug2 with a SATA SSD drive. Unfortulately, makepkg took 7-1/2 hours on that system (it's 800 MHz vs. 1.2 GHz SheevaPlug). I was hoping real SATA I/O would help. Alas, it appears makepkg is CPU bound. I'll have to work on the chroot to an Arch rootfs on my dual-core Utilite Standard.

Meanwhile, I'll get that memset patch integrated into the PKGBUILDs and try again.

Thanks for your help,

TP2 + distcc should help a fair amount, but the kernel is a massive undertaking

I found that the latest stable 3.2 and 3.4 kernels already have the memset patch. So, I'm building a 3.2.62 kernel off the linux-3.1.10-34 PKGBUILD, and a 3.4.101 kernel off the linux-kirkwood-3.4.7 PKGBUILD. I'm still sorting our the patch mismatches.
