I had assumed that, when a patch was posted to the port specific list as
you did with yours, someone would pick it up and apply it. Clearly this
was a simplistic view. Can anyone on the list, either let me know when
I can reasonably expect to be able to download a kernel incorporating
the patch or tell me how to compile my own?
From what I gather from an earlier reply there is no specific kernel
source tree as there is with Linux. Do I need to download the entire
source tree and run a make on it? Is there a configuration utility like
Linux's 'menuconfig'? If not how does one specify which architecture
one is compiling for?
