 +I've also been doing some hacking. I've taken a good look at several 
 +of the tools people are using. Guenter'​s scripts. Kevin & Olof'​s 
 +scripts, your ttc, and the stuff I'm using personally, and then 
 +started a new tool for booting and testing boards, pulling in bits and 
 +pieces that look good. I've been able to come up with something that 
 +works really well for me, will boot on qemu out-of-the-box,​ and is 
 +easily extendible to real hardware like a board on a desk or a 
 +personal board farm. I'll post my patches this coming week. Right now 
 +I'm cleaning up some ugly bits and I need to graft in the logging from 
 +Kevin'​s scripts.

 +==== Tim's notes on cross-compilation ==== 
 +Here are some notes about cross-compilation:​ 
 +  * Makefiles currently don't support KBUILD_OUTPUT or O= 
 +  * model in Makefile at top of srctree is 'make kselftest'​ 
 +    * build and run are a single thing 
 +    * kernel install is ignored (left as exercise for user) 
 +  * in lower Makefiles, have hardcoded ARCH stuff for specifying include dirs for user-space apps (ugh) 
 +  * mqueue uses '​gcc',​ direct execution, etc. 
 + 
 +=== build dependencies for different tests === 
 +  * mqueue uses -lrt -lpthread -lpopt 
 +  * ipc/​msgque.c requires kernel headers from Linux 3.8 or later (which my Ubuntu system fails to provide) 
 + 
 + 
 +=== runtime dependencies for different tests === 
 +  * mqueue requires root for some tests 
 +    * mq_open_test,​ even when run as root, gets permission denied at mq_open at 202: 
 +  * ipc/​msgque.c (msgque_testrequires root privileges 
 +  * net requires /bin/sh and requires root privileges 
 +  * sysctl requires /bin/sh, says it needs kernel.sysctl_writes_string=1,​ /proc/sys/
