The instructions for intalling gcc 4.2.1 and binuntils 2.17 from 
<http://community.qnx.com/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.toolchain/wiki/Downloads_gcc4.2Preview>;
do are incomplete -- at least for the purposes of building the kernel with 4.2.1

I'm told it's also necessary to checkout /tools/mkfiles and then direct make to use /tools/mkfiles with an incantation 
like: 

make -I/root/headsvn/tools/mkfiles MKFILES_ROOT=/root/sandbox/tools/mkfiles QCONFIG=/root/sandbox/tools/mkfiles/qconf-$
{SYSNAME}.mk $*

That makes the kernel compile for x86. But I'm told that a large number of additional patches are required' for other 
architectures. I'm told those patches are floating around in emails.  

If anyone has gotten 4.2.1 to work correctly for all architectures, could they post somewhere the complete least of 
patches, tweaks and magic needed to get a 4.2.1 sandbox to work? 

-ad. 

ps. This is a potential time saver for people. I know at least one member of my team has given up trying to setup a 
complie environment for 4.2.1. I managed to get x86 working but it cost me a couple of days before I figured out the 
instructions were incomplete.
