Hi all
I have a proprietery cross compiler that runs on a Windows i386 platform
.. i'm wondering if i can compile the Linux kernel with it
I can't use gcc and binutils cause i wanna cross compiling to a arch
that is not supported by gcc
I think you're in waaay deep then... I don't think there is any
architecture that has no gcc port but does have a kernel port today...
so you'll have to port not only to another compiler, but also to another
architecture. That's, ehm, not a trivial task.



well this is right, actually there is no kernel port to that architecture so i have two paths, either port the kernel/libc first and compile it with another compiler then i'll port the gcc or the opposite

Which architecture are you referring to?

thanks,

TMS320C6000 DSP family from Texas Instruments .. there was some efforts to port the gcc at 2003 at a university in Germany and there exist a commercial linux port for TMS320C64x (fixed point dsp) but what i'm thinking of is to port linux to TMS320C67x (which is a floating point dsp)
Thanks previously
