 Doesn't the upstream MACH_MX31_3DS work? 2.6.28 is extremely old...

 That doesn't sound like a good idea when the kernel is 2.6.28...

 Why not uClibc and why C++?

 With a more recent kernel we don't need this crappy option...

 Why?

 If network boot is really the only option, then perhaps it would be nicer to
use an initramfs linked into the kernel? Or doesn't the board have enough memory
to support that?
