Subject: RE: Re: missing elf.h (for mk_elfconfig.c) while building zImage for PPC on Intel platform (windows XP) using cygwin

Hi Hollis,

You are correct. It looks for /usr/include/elf.h. It is not a case of
missing (altogether) elf.h - it is just misconfiguration issue (files are
looked in a wrong directories - another menuconfig problem ?)

As a proof of that - I copied existent elf.h include file from
\linux-2.6.7\include\linux 
to /usr/include/elf.h (there was no elf.h there originally ...) - and
compilation moved forward for one step -
now it can not find linux/types.h, the one which "lives" (I think) in
\linux-2.6.7\include\linux, and asm/elf.h, the one which "lives" (I think)
in \linux-2.6.7\include\asm-ppc

I also saw this problem when trying to cross-build from Mac OS X a 
while ago. A couple build tools assume the existence of 
/usr/include/elf.h ... (adding LKML to cc)

In other words, download and install
   http://www.gnu.org/directory/libs/misc/libelf.html
which will I think provide <gelf.h>;
you can then make an elf.h that just does
   #include <gelf.h>
and you should be good to go.  (I haven't tried it myself.)
