Hi

Are these Linux applications or are these applications that you have
ported to run natively on OKL4?

A quick solution might be to compile out of tree and then stick
them into the rootfs package or hard disk if you are booting 
off disk.  There is no real requirement for Linux applications
run on OK Linux to be compiled with the pre-compiled toolchain, 
other than the fact that if they were dynamically linked they
need to be compatible with the libc and related libraries that
will be used to support the application on OK Linux.
