So I started ptxdist menuconfig, traversed to Debugging Tools area and entered md5 checksum for gdbServer tar file. Typed "ptxdist go" and yet again it is rebuilding Qt4. This change was unrelated to Qt4. Does that not mean I did not change Qt configuration and it is simply re-building Qt just because I changed a setting in menuconfig. I would appreciate any help still in this area since it looks like ptxdist does not know whether qt configuration has been changed or not, it simply wants to build the package.
