Hi,
I'm trying to build gcc-5.5.0, but it fails at the configure step for
intl with the error message:
/usr/bin/ld: error: a.out uses VFP register arguments, /tmp/cceTTKgu.o does not
Here is what I've done...
GCC-5 is very old now and no-longer supported by the GCC developers.

This isn't going to work, as there are assembler files which will likely
not see these flags.
Instead, use the --with-float=[soft|softfp|hard] option when configuring
the compiler.

I googled and rechecked the install instructions and the FAQ. I have a
suspicion this has something to do with my using - mfloat-abi=hard. I
wonder if the fact that on the last line above av_cv_env_CFLAGS_value
does not include - mfloat-abi=hard means anything. I also tried the
compiler flags '-mfloat-abi=hard -march=armv7-a -mfpu=neon', but the
same error resulted.
Thanks,
Erik
