Re: Error trying to build userland for Jornada 728

Hello,

   I should post a correction here. The problem is definitely with the 
NetBSD hpcarm kernel. A posting to the NetBSD hpcarm mailing list that 
confirms it is here:

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-hpcarm/2002/07/09/0001.html

   I'm guessing that the people who are capable of fixing this problem 
have moved on to other things and no one else is willing to take up the 
challenge of fixing the problem. Of course, that's just a guess.
