Ah, awesome!  Glad to hear that.

I'll just let you in on the little catch with the upstream OpenRISC
kernel, then:  it drops support for deprecated syscalls; unfortunately,
there is no libc that supports that yet.

For that reason, the kernel at git://openrisc.net/jonas/linux is still
the one that is most usable... it's carrying a patch to reenable those
syscalls so that uClibc works.

I've got a patch series that attempts to fix that, but upstream uClibc
didn't seem particularly enamored by the idea of adding more code to
libc so that Linux can get smaller... and that's kind of where we got
stuck.

Probably best to drop linux-kernel from this conversation at this point,
but feel free to continue it at linux@...ts.openrisc.net
