Hi all. I am trying to compile GCC 4.5.1 and newlib-1.18.0 in one-pass combined build. I created symlink to newlib directory in gcc directory. Target is arm-elf. I use configuration options --disable-multilib and --with-endian=big. After compilation of toolchain, I can see that Newlib was compiled in LE mode, so I can not compile my software properly. I noticed that in order to compile newlib in BE mode, I have to force GCC target to armeb-elf (and then newlib have to be patched, because it does not recognize armeb target) Questions are : 1) Why is this happening and how to force newlib to compile in BE mode ? 2) Can --with-endian=big flag work even if I disabled multilib (i.e. is multilib necessary for BE mode build ?) 3) Do I always have to use armeb-elf instead of arm-elf target when multilib is disabled Thanks for the answers, Drasko
