Linking the kernel failed with the following error:
if_ea.o: in function eaatach
if_ea.o: undefined refference to strtoul

It seems you have added the implementation of strtoul() in some other file.
Could you tell me which file?

I generally use sup to update my sources so I hope there are not to many
files I have to fetch because I have to use webcsv to fetch them manually.

I am still having problems running the kernel. I think this has something
todo with the amount of RAM that is available. I have built a kernel with
a text segment of only 795636 bytes. This kernel sometimes manages to
enter single user mode. Then a can give a small command like pwd, but a
larger command like ls failes trying to make a core dump. This will also
terminate the single user sh and enter the kdb.  The trace is like:
 panic(...)
 exit1(...)
 sigexit(...)
 sendsig(...)
 trapsignal(...)
 data_abort_handler(scp=0x4a154337(data_abort_handler+0x10), 
                    rlv=0x4a98173(data_abort_entry+0x20),
                    rsp=0x1ee7fc0, rfp=0x0, r9 =0x0, r8=0x8a7c,
                    r7=0x0, r6=0x1,r5=0xb, r4=0x0)

If you want a full trace please email me.
