Uncompress the file in /usr/local/arm I have found the best way to compile a kernel is to add /usr/local/arm/bin to the end of you path. Then make config, and finally make zImage. In that case the kernel makefiles know to use arm-linux-gcc and the like instead of just gcc. It also then doesn't require you to precompile a couple of the utilities needed with the native gcc.

If you don't want to set up your makefiles for your own personal programs you can use the wrapper script below.

#! /bin/sh

PATH="/usr/local/arm/arm-linux/bin:$PATH"
exec "$@"

emptris for empeg car

I have now changed the name to emptris and released the code under the GPL. There are not many comments, as in none so it may be hard to follow some of the code. I will probably be adding comments and giving more descriptive names to some of the variables in the future. If you just want the binary, its in there and at 18k file size I don't think it calls for separate distributions so you get the code as well. As always send me some mail if you have questions, suggestions or improvements.
