What kernel are you trying to build? there is a slightly newer kernel
available that fully supports the efika but nothing newer than a 2.6.31 based
kernel.

Hi Dennis,
I am trying to build a kernel from
git://gitorious.org/efikamx/linux-kernel.git. The
"newer" might have been misleading; the main reason I am doing this is because I
am working with systemtap that needs some addition build kernel tree and debuginfo to
build instrumentation modules, like what is described in
http://omappedia.org/wiki/Systemtap .
If was possible to make this an rpm like the omap one mentioned in
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/Fedora_ARM_Kernels, that would be great.
