Re: [PATCH] amd64 port kernel build/link patches

["Yonghong Yan" <noah.yan@xxxxxxxxx>]

there is a README.amd64 file that includes in the patch. anyway, follow this:

 after applying the patch, set this
TARGET_ARCH=amd64
TARGET_PLATFORM=pc64

and then do the make buildworld that will build all the cross
toolchain and the world utilities, but not pkgsrc.

then do the make -k buildkernel KERNCONF=AMD64_GENERIC, that will
build and link the kernel. the emulation linux is compiled with errors
and i have spent time on it more than dumping in Freebsd related code.
that is the reason to use -k for this. After that, you will have the
kernel.debug and kernel.stripped and modules in
/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/AMD64_GENERIC.

The patch includes two temp files that i forget to remove and i will
also reorganize the folder structure.

Again, it is only the linked kernel with tons of dummy codes, far from
something that is able to execute.
