Cross compilation for an old box...

[Mariano Boragno <marianoboragno at gmail dot com>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to compile some small applications for a satellite modem
(iDirect X3) which is built on a pretty old Linux kernel (2.4.24) from
uCLinux distribution. More info on the system below.

I guess I can get the headers for that kernel, but how would I build
crosstool to successfully compile for that platform? Is that possible
at all or is it way too deprecated?

The purpose is to add some small features to the modem not provided by
the manufacturer.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance, regards...
