What version > of gcc and binutils do I need for the builds to complete ? I would strongly recommend to use GCC 8.2+ for ARC as there were quite some improvements and fixes done for ARC. You may use master branch of Crosstool-NG for building uClibc multilib toolchain for ARC based on Binutils 2.31.1 and GCC 8.2.0. Just say "./ct-ng arc-multilib-linux-uclibc" for that. For me freshly-built tools were able to build Vineet's today's "for-curr" tree with mentioned patch perfectly fine. -Alexey
