Hi there, I'm Eddy your shipboard computer...

well..I'm Donald, a relative newbie with a kernel question unlikely answerable elsewhere.

I'm running the newest release of LinuxPPC on my Mac G4. I programme in C and Pascal and JAVA, and I have my nice Release 5 of CodeWarrior.

The question is this: I want to recompile my kernel, optimized for the G4 chip. Obviously, GCC isn't going to do this. I'm assumeing there must be a way to compile the kernel without being in linux itself...how else would the first kernel of each new port be compiled?

Any ideas?

we now find that the penguin's
brain is still smaller.
But, and this is the point,
it is larger than it WAS!"
