GCC and the binutils are designed to work together, such that if you configure both with the same --prefix option GCC will use the binutils assembler. Unfortunately I do not know of a way to tell GCC to use a arm-linux-gnueabi-as assembler. > If that doesn't work could you point me in the right direction for > building the assembler? That's totally uncharted waters for me. > Googling didn't help much. Download a GNU binutils release and see binutils/README. It's pretty much the same as building GCC. Just make sure to use the same --prefix and --target options for both GCC and the binutils. Ian
