Hi Andrew,
> Fix the Ubuntu build instructions to install a BE compiler rather than LE.
The both of those should be able to do BE; and having the LE compiler
installed will probably be better suited to the rest of the stack.
What's the motivation for this change? Just the CROSS= argument on the
line below?
Cheers,
Jeremy

Just the CROSS= argument on the > line below? The motivation is indeed that right now that CROSS= argument specifies a compiler prefix that doesn't exist. I've just tested in an Ubuntu Docker container and it does seem that the LE compiler can do BE fine as long as that CROSS= argument is changed, though if we want to do that I should probably add a note clarifying that yes, skiboot is still BE. (It also turns out that we need to add xz-utils to the package list... anyone know what the xz package name is on Fedora?)
