I try to cross compile gcc 14.1.0 for an older arm linux. During compilation it fails with a long list of linking problems for libstdc++.so I configured gcc with: ../configure --prefix=/opt/armv7_$(GCC_VERSION) --enable-languages=c,c++ --with-sysroot=/opt/podman_debian8/merged --enable-multiarch --with-fpu=vfpv3-d16 --with-mode=thumb --with-arch=armv7-a --target=arm-linux-gnueabihf --disable-multilib --with-stdc++lib=static Is it possible to add/remove some flags for ./configure to get the new compiler to work even with the libm.a library from the target system which was not compiled with fPic.
