The PS2 doesn't use x86 architecture, it will not work.

Then how all other programms will work? These kit is supported to run any linux programm.

I could be wrong, but you need to compile the code specifically for the platform and OS.
which is why a BMax program for x86 linux won't run on PPC linux.

What if you use the platform specific GCC version for rebuilding all modules?

A good question, one which requires further experimentation by someone with a PS2 running linux.

They don't. Most programs work, because the source is available and a recompiling it will usually be sufficient to port it.

You'll still need something to compile the BlitzMAX parts.

No luck :(
All I got was a red screen with a dump of the heap stack or something.
