07:25.48mnemocharpal: there is no single shoot recomendation, but the "classic" one is buildroot as it's the one made by uClibc/busybox people

07:42.45harpalmnemoc: ok, Actually I have made one generic linux with help of busybox, it fits into less than 10 MB, Should I go for it or uClibc?
07:44.02mnemocuClibc is a _libc_, it's a component not a distro

07:52.40harpalmnemoc: ok, Hey in Router and other Switch which one is used? How do they make upgrade? Any Idea?
08:21.24mnemocharpal: uClibc+busybox is the most common convination in embedded linux I think, how to upgrade depends on the distribution.. most update the firmware as a whole
08:22.23harpalmnemoc: ok

12:30.54phoixi am having problems compiling buildroot, gcc stops with error 2; the problem is: checking for suffix of object files... configure: error: cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot compile.  i have the buildroot-snapshot downloaded today, and am trying to compile for arm xscale.. has anyone else run into this problem?
