Marvell Kirkwood - anyone?

[Balanga Bar]

Didn't you need to include '-DWITH_FDT' ?

As for 'unable to build'... I would run make in a directory under
/usr/ports and there would be no response. The system would just hang.

I have now managed to install 11.1 which seems fairly stable and have built
a few pkgs, although building them takes several hours. It would be much
better if I was able to build them under amd64, but haven't found a way of
doing that yet
