I'm not waiting. :)
I'm making a cross-compiler for ARM (by hand, figuring out how to do it), and I have a whole weekend to thump on it. I want to build a kernel, uClibc, and busybox, and get them to boot under qemu-system-arm. That will be the "ok, declare victory and document what I just did" moment.
I'll let you know what breaks. (I have Mazur's old 2.6.12 here for comparison, so I may even have patches. You never know... :)
