Better late than never :-)

I understand that, but these sets have been on the market for a long 
time either.

I'm sorry but I cannot produce the same image, using the supplied 
sources, the supplied build system and the supplied configuration, so 
there must be something different there.

I got it, but there's no Makefile, so I cannot verify if, once linked 
with the supplied uclibc, will produce the same program as currently 
running on the tv, and, as with the kernel, it's very important that I 
can verify the supplied sources against what's currently running on the 
tv, you know, I don't want to turn my tv set into an expensive 
paperweight ;-)
