Lonnie,
  The solution to the make version check is to place the attached .patch
file into the directory
~/source-control/crosstool-ng-1.20.0/patches/eglibc/2_18
The 2_18 directory doesn't exist, will need to be created as part of the
copy, which you could do in the get-files.sh script.  However, the patch
file must be copied over before running the 'sudo make install' part of the
instructions (which copies all the patch files into
/usr/local/lib/ct-ng.1.20.0 and it is from there that the ct-ng build picks
up patches) so you will need to reorder the crosstool build
instructions/script to put the get-files part up front.

Over to you to decide next steps.

David

David,

Good to know.  I'm kind of surprised Ubuntu 15.04 works.

Looking forward to when you are testing AstLinux x86_64 on your APU1...

David,

All you really need is the latest /usr/sbin/upgrade-run-image script, architecture independent.

You should be able to copy that script anywhere on your 32-bit system and perform the switch as described.

So, boldly going where no one has gone before, I attempted to do a build on
Ubuntu 15.10 and failed.  Problem is pretty close to the start, building
initrd, fails on host-pkg-config 0.25 building.  This package generates
lots of warnings in the compile and ultimately ends up with...

Fails whether trying to build 32-bit or 64-bit.

Where is the build log saved for initrd?  I'd like to compare with the
successful builds on Ubuntu 15.04 (above is copy/paste from console).

There may be some major differences between Ubuntu 15.04 and 15.10, for a
start linux kernel is now 4.2, was 3.19.  So at the moment I'm pointing the
finger at Ubuntu and not anything I did [wrong] when setting up the system
for building AstLinux.

So, back to 15.04 in the meantime.

Thanks
David

So, instructions for switching to 64-bit say to use the command line and
that the existing 32-bit system needs to be r7353 or later.  Is there any
way to do the switch without first installing a 32-bit version (I'm on
7328) or do I need to go build a up-to-date 32-bit version first?

Thanks
David
