Re: KA655 Kernel Compile and Corrupt Object Files

[Johnny Billquist <bqt%softjar.se@localhost>]

Honestly, while possible, I seriously doubt there is a problem with the 
CPU module. If something was wrong there, I would expect way more things 
to be noticed than just some object files being corrupted while writing.

I would rather suspect either the toolchain, or some network issues. But 
primarily toolchain.
