how to build root filesystem for ixp425

[Stavros Markou]

Hi,

The option is well set because i am echoing it at the time of the build
what i don't understand is the check about BUILD_ARCH and TARGET_ARCH or
for that matter MACHINE_ARCH.
I think, and let me know if i am wrong, that BUILD_ARCH must be whatever
is the ARCH of the Host system. If i am right on this then why there is
this check inside Makefile.inc1 :

if ${MACHINE_ARCH) != ${BUILD_ARCH}
.error To cross-build, set TARGET_ARCH.
.endif

In my case BUILD_ARCH is i386 and as it is supposed to be (?)
TARGET_ARCH=arm.

Best Regards,

Stavros.
