Thanks Michael,

I think you are right. I had a problem where the kernel would start loading
fine until it got to the point where it needed to run "init", at which point
it would freeze. I went ahead and instrumented the kernel and found out that
it was failing to find the "interpreter". I was not aware of the readelf
command that you describe. I appreciate your help, this looks like it will
show me what the issues is. Like I mentioned before, I used the ***gcc
executable that comes with uCLibc to build and it must have specified the
uCLibc dynamic linker.

Clearly this is exactly the problem I was mentioning in my previous
mail: the ELF
interpreter cannot be found.
This is caused by missing ld-xxx.so.1, and you can check which one
exactly by running

$readelf -a <executablle> | less

and looking for INTERP section, which says which one exactly do you need
and where it
must sit.
Again, this is not very smart to specify the dynamic linker explicitly
unless you
first install it on the target (development)
computer.
