Right now, I am doing a "make" in the toolchain directory.... c++

Whow. Can you explain what you have done and where you stopped?

I think hunting bugs in DSLINUX is hard work, and it may be good if we 
can do something about it!

What else? uClibc?

Hm. We have 2 builds with GBA ROM space as RAM now: the RAM build and 
the DLDI build (+Memory Expansion Pack). They are not compatible. If we 
add ext2, we have 4.

Can you think of a solution which does not increase the number of 
builds?
