[ltt-dev] Fwd: Re: Lttng and Tiny Core?

[Medved, Michael]

I tried dropping in the lttng patch but not actually activating any of 
the options in menuconfig.  That seems to work (at least on a 
virtualbox, I can try it on HW on Monday), so now I'm compiling with 
Markers and Immediate Value, but no Lttng.  We'll see if that works and 
I'll drop a reply.
