Rod,

I am basically trying to compile EPICS for the TS7370 (arm based arch).
How I achieve this is not important to me.

I looked at the TS cross toolchain.
I understand I am supposed to change my makefiles following 
> CROSS = /opt/crosstool/gcc-3.3.4-glibc-2.3.2/bin/arm-linux-
> CC = $(CROSS)gcc

but how do I do that in EPICS?
I am not even sure how to correctly setup a target architecture...
export T_A=linux-arm; make
or even make T_A=linux-arm
seem to work. 
My target EPICS_HOST_ARCH is linux-armv4l
My host is linux 64 bit. 
It seems I need to create the files 
CONFIG.linux-x86_64.armv4tl
CONFIG_SITE.linux-x86.linux-armv4tl
CONFIG.Common.linux-armv4tl

I copied ../configure/os/CONFIG...linux-arm... files to compile

But I run into several issues...

Is there any resource for cross compiling on EPICS?
Any other info on how you achieve to run epics on a TS7370 is welcome.
