So as you found, its own patches in the SRPM won't apply. >> CodeSourcery is an ugly tarball approach, I don't know about GNUARM. >> >> Since cross is only needed for Kernel and Bootloader with the Fedora >> packaging approach, you're best off using the Fedora cross packages and the >> Fedora native toolchain for everything else. > > I agree.

CodeSourcery and if I understood it GNUARM are not magic toolchains, they're just built and maintained versions of standard packages like binutils and gcc same as Fedora does. The difference is that overall, Fedora is a consistent distro and these are just tarball blobs. A few weeks ago I did the work to uplevel the cross patches to what was then current rawhide gcc and binutils, and posted the specfile patches and instructions for rebuild to the list (where it disappeared silently like a stone in a lake deep in a forest ^^): http://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/fedora-arm/msg00725.html If you want to recook or uplevel the cross packages, that would be the place to start. -Andy _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
