It's for the benefit of the greatest number of people that c skills holds it for another month or so. Obviously, root exploits are not the easiest to come by. I for one am glad he's being responsible. At least we know it's there and will be released.

Alias, you said you're having issues even compiling fullnelson.c. So what did you test it on?

I'm a noob at this, but does this help at all? posted by Stericson on twitter

I worked on getting this compiling last night and I've come to the conclusion that this root method won't work. It has something to do with certain functions using regparm which does not seem to work in android.

It's sweet that we have the other method, but we shouldn't give up on rooting GB itself.
