I just tried the armv4l static on both K1 and PW3. On K1 thread-hello2, but it FAILED on the PW3 (Illegal instruction).

I also reran NiLuJe's musl-cross hello on both devices. Like before, it failed on the K1, but it ran fine on the PW3 (reporting "Hello World from ./kindletool_tmpfile_XXXXXX").

Unless I can code at a deeper level (i.e. only system calls), it seems like my apps will need two versions, one for the K1, and one for all other kindles, and a launcher script to figure out which version to run (based on serial number). I would be a lot happier if I could compile something that would run on all eink kindles.

I will try running the K1 /bin/busybox in the PW3 and see how it chokes...
