[ale] Kernel cross compilation

[Boris Borisov]

Thank you everybody for answers. I will try to do something hopefully
will get to success :) Nothing for production just trying to get back
old device to live ...
Recently www.openwrt.org release their distro with new beta
http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_adjustment/12.09-beta/xburst/
and one of these kernels works well and it is very fast compared to
the original
kernel that comes with the device except there is no proper LCD output
and keyboard input but I have serial console working. So If I want to
use as NAS device or something similar I can used way it is. But I
will try to get it working with LCD and keyboard.

The original source code for device development board is here :

ftp://ftp.ingenic.cn/3sw/01linux/   - slow server
