general crosstool questions


hi all,

first some background:

i'm building a cross compiler for a custom mips box.  given that i have some
binary only modules from a 2.4 kernel, i doubt that the box will ever run a
2.6 kernel.

so, my questions are:

1) by default crosstool uses a 2.6 kernel.  is there any harm in keeping
this, or do i need to force it to use a 2.4 kernel (via the LINUX_DIR
variable)?  i'm guessing i should force a 2.4 kernel
2) i'm using a custom board, which has some different includes (mips boards
tend to be like that).  ie interrupt definitions, etc.  would stock kernel
headers cause problems in the compilation of userland utilities?
3) is there any mechanism to retrieve linux from cvs (linux for mips is
located on linux-mips.org, which may or may not have the arch specific stuff
put back into kernel.org).  is there a need for this (ie do other archs have
this?)

thanks in advance,
rob
