Hi Andrew, I just want to thank you for all the pieces of info you provided. I am sure these top posting exchanges will at least help people choose the best ARM toolchain for their java development. I hope they will not be confused if I confused them in any manner. :-) Best Regards, David Sayada. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Haley [mailto:aph-gcc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2007 12:49 PM To: David Sayada Cc: classpath@xxxxxxx; 'Amnon David' Subject: RE: SIGSEGV issue David Sayada writes: > Hi Andrew, > > Opening your link, I have noticed that the fcheck-references is defined for > arm-elf CPU.

This top-posting is very confusing. Please stop.
