Dear George  
 
Many thanks for your reply

I am goint to use busybox-1.12.1 (released just a few days ago) and 
uClibc-0.9.30-rc2 (to be released soon) should these not be sufficient and if 
not what is so sopecial about the   stuff in svn?

I am going to linux- 2.6.27.2
do I still need to do the omap.git  kernel update?

i)binutils-2.17-posix-1.patch
