Using built-in specs.
Target: arm-elf
Configured with: /home/pro/gcc-4.1.0/configure --target=arm-elf
--prefix=/home/pro/armenv/ --with-float=soft --with-newlib
--without-headers --enable-languages=c --disable-nls --disable-shared
--disable-thread
Thread model: single
gcc version 4.1.0
pro@deb:~/armenv/bin$
pro@deb:~/armenv/bin$ cat foo.c
int _start()
{
double f = 1.23;
return f;
}
pro@deb:~/armenv/bin$ ./arm-elf-gcc -c foo.c
pro@deb:~/armenv/bin$ file foo.o
foo.o: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, ARM, version 1 (ARM), not stripped
pro@deb:~/armenv/bin$ ./arm-elf-ld -o demo.elf foo.o
../lib/gcc/arm-elf/4.1.0/libgcc.a
i usually build binutils first. Then export the PATH for binutils
prefix/bin. then build gcc bootstrap (stage1).
Does this help you ? If not ask for more. You can add newlib or glibc
after gcc bootstrap.
