Hi, Can anyone point me to a link on how to build a cross-compile toolchain for ARM based systems (for kernel 2.6). Between is it worth the effort building it from scratch or should I go for a pre-built binary?
$GCC_SOURCE/configure --target=arm-elf --enable-lagnuages=c make && make install
Well, you do need binutils :)
$BINUTILS_SOURCE/configure --target=arm-elf make && make install
and *then* build gcc.
For the kernel you do not need GLIBC. Besides, cross-compiling GLIBC is officially unsupported.
Now, if you need to compile for GNU/Linux for ARM hosted userspace you do need GLIBC, in which case you're SOL. Depending on your needs you can try uclibc, dietlibc or newlib instead.
