Has anyone successfully compiled kernel *inside* empeg?

When the compiler starts compiling audio-sa1100-ssp, it will always crash with a memory violation error. Everything else goes well before that, like kernel config and init.c and version.c compiling.

Here's what happens:

arm-linux-gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/drive0/kim/empeg/kernel/include -mapcs-32 -mcpu=strongarm110 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-fra

Am I trying something impossible or is there just some problems with my settings? Could it be running out of memory? Should I increase my swap file? How?

One point: (I've never tried compiling a kernel on an empeg, I have a perfectly good pc with far more ram... I was going to say diskspace, but in fact my empeg has more than my pc :) ) - audio-sa1100-ssp isn't used on the empeg, so you don't need to compile it.

In fact there's a default configuration in arch/arm/def-configs which should help. I've just noticed that it is missing CONFIG_EMPEG_DISPLAY though so you'll need to specify that manually.

I may not be speaking on behalf of empeg above :-)

Yes. I realized that compiling the kernel inside empeg is probably not the best idea. Well, I think the memory just comes as a limit and that makes the compiler to crash. From now on, I'm compiling my kernel thru a telnet to other machine that has the cross-compilers setted up.
