err,. yes,.. sorry, its the old src,dest vs dest,src thing again, at lest you
have a fairly nice patch to remove all my rubbish :)

yes,. it complained about not having the EMBEDDED_C_ and UNIX_C variables,
but nothing else.

no, the directory was not even created in my build dir,.

nope.

well i took it from the 2.4.8 tree sources, but its hardly a linux fs
(looking at all the compatablity stuff that was added).

licensing,. ? (missed that discussion, sorry) its under the GPL2, jffs2 is
issued under the GPL2 and RedHats eCos licence,..

is that a problem ?
