I was wondering if anyone can suggest an approach for building EPICS
on multiple linux distributions (which may have different kernel
versions, compiler versions, etc.)
Does one define new architectures linux-x86-distribution_a
linux-x86-distribution_b?

And, what about Linux on embedded devices, such as VME CPUs? How are
people building kernels, drivers, EPICS, etc. and then deploying them to
production CPUs?
Are labs using standard Linux distributions for the likes of kernels,
drivers (and what about non-desktop oriented drivers, such as for VME),
and filesystems?
Has anyone composed a complete package of cross toolchains, root
filesystem, kernel + configuration, etc., that they use as any kind of
standard for embedded systems?
