Cross-compilation of lx_hybrid components

[Christian Helmuth]

Hi Roman,

great to hear you managed to fit this square peg into a round hole
(and broke all other platforms ;-).

Actually, no. The information you provided about what happens could be
called scarce at best. The core output about "blocking canceled" you
cite happens if the core Linux process happens to receive a POSIX
signal, which is in many cases SIGCHLD because any child exited.

I suggest you try to investigate this suspicion using the following
hints.

- Analyze the syslog looking for messages about segmentation or
  protection faults.
- Pause execution of linux_nic_drv early on startup by calling magic
    extern "C" void wait_for_continue();
  which waits for input on stdin.
- Try to attach a debugger to linux_nic_drv on the target.
- Maybe replace linux_nic_drv with a very simple hybrid Hello-World
  program.

Good luck
