Yep. The two hardware-related items that usually matter:
Little-endian or broken-endian? 32-bit or 64-bit?
The CPU type is not necessary or sufficient, since one can often run a 32-bit kernel on 64-bit hardware and at least MIPS has both little-endian and broken-endian supported. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
