Hi,

I have cross compiled on Cygwin using kernel 2.6.7 but i don't know for
MPC82XX. The kernel with the small changes i previously gave on this
mailing list work pretty well. ( see
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/crossgcc/2004-06/msg00282.html for more
info)

Concerning ram based root file system the only problem i had was with
rights, You must force executables to be executable as elf files are not
under cygwin if you have a fat32 system for example.

For the nfs server i use the one provided with cygwin and it is working
well, you just have to mount the directory with the flag "executable" to
be shure that init will be executalbe. I also found that exporting a
directory for everyone ( the *) doesn't work so i have to specify every
ip adress i want to have access.

I hope this will help you,

Bertrand
