Hi,
if you ever compiled FreeWRT from source, you know there is a directory named staging_dir_$arch. This was the directory where the toolchain compile results and all other libraries and headers for the target where mixed up with cross-compile host-tools like gcc. Finally Thorsten managed to separate host and target tools, so that we do not mixup them anymore. There is a new directory called cross_$arch with at least two subdirectories. One is named target, which contains all header files and libraries needed to cross-compile applications. The host directory contains all applications and tools, which are excuted on the host, to cross-compile stuff or to use other nice tools.
Now we could activate native binutils again. Next step is to have a native compile, which sometimes might be useful.
For example you could do some stress test with kernel compiling.
If you are updating your trunk, do not forget to recompile your toolchain via "make cleandir". And remove staging_dir*, because it is obsolete now.
Have a nice day
Waldemar
