I'm pretty sure that was kruft from the old tools. That has disappeared, but I
now have:

That I understand, but I'm building on 13.10. I think the build is ok on
Ubuntu, but I could be wrong.

You're saying the kernel is fubar then, right? The build completes fine, the
binaries seem ok.

Does the above give you any ideas?

(BTW, thanks to both you and MikeL for the time both of you put into the -xlnx
branches, despite my b!T@$ing, I do like the zynq and it's my first experience
working with FPGAs on my last project. I wrote a PID controller to maintain
constant voltage, like a power supply does...so no matter what the input
voltage changes to, or the workload, it could maintain constant voltage within
.1 volt. I accessed the FPGA through i2c-dev in userspace.

I honestly do not know what this project is that I'm doing, and won't until I
get it up and booting with my images. :-/
