This build will still +include a bunch of functions of no relevance to GTA0x, but oh well.. + +To build loadtools for the GTA0x AP, you'll need to make the following +modifications to loadtools/Makefile: + +* Change the CC= line to point to the appropriate cross-compiler (which you'll + need to provide yourself). + +* Change the CFLAGS= line: add the right options to target the ARM920T core in + the GTA0x AP (e.g., -march=armv4t -mtune=arm920t), and add -DGTA0x_AP_BUILD + to enable some code that makes sense only when running on the GTA0x AP. + +* Change the PROGS= line to not build fc-compalram or fc-buzplay: the latter + utilities are not applicable to GTA0x. + +* Change EXTRA_OBJ= from listing compalload.o to listing compaldummy.o and + gtapower.o instead. + +See loadtools/gta-ap-build.sed for an example.
