Well I cross-compiled 6-stable, installed it on an nfs server and booted
an Avila from it. That worked. So then I wanted to compile some ports on
it. For a start I wanted olsrd. That needed a lot of things amongst
other libiconv. That died with a compiler error like this:

Any ideas? I did compile it on -current Avila a few days ago.

Is there a reason that fdisk is not build for the arm on 6-stable?
