We simply use an older version of crosstool= -ng, updating those few things that may need updates. Maintaining a toolchain build isn't a simple matter, and maintaining it for= all versions of everything, is maybe a recipe for Nothing Good. Eliminati= ng older versions of inputs from the current version of the build system, s= eems an effective way to reduce clutter and risk. -- Dan Wilder ________________________________________ From: crossgcc-owner@sourceware.org [crossgcc-owner@sourceware.org] on beha= lf of Chris Packham [Chris.Packham@alliedtelesis.co.nz] Sent: Tuesday, February 16, 2016 7:42 PM To: crossgcc@sourceware.org; Bryan Hundven Subject: Any chance of bringing gcc 4.7 support back to crosstool-ng 1.23 Hi Bryan, I realize this is probably re-hashing something that was discussed a few months ago but is there any chance of bringing back support for gcc 4.7.x? We have a vendor toolchain based on this. Fortunately the vendor provides source but updating this source against a newer gcc is a bit beyond our capabilities. We've asked the vendor if they can provide their toolchain based on a current gcc but so far no movement on that. Alternatively would it be possible to have a "custom" gcc version in the configuration so we could point it at the vendors source tarball. I think we'd want the same for binutils and glibc but I think we could get away with those being patches on top of the upstream source.
