Baremetal big-endian toolchain for Cortex-R5 microcontroller

Baremetal big-endian toolchain for Cortex-R5 microcontroller

[Abhimanyu Ghosh]

Hello!

I am attempting to build a cross-compiler for a big-endian Cortex-R5 
processor from Texas Instruments (specifically, their TMS570 lineup) 
using the latest stable (1.24.0) release of crosstool-ng, and was 
wondering if anyone on this list has experience building multilib support.

More specifically, there are a number of areas I'm stuck on:

- If I set CT_ARCH_BE=y is this something being applied to the 
multilibs, or is this purely a switch that sets the default 
compilation/linking flags for the generated cross toolchain?

- This may be a more appropriate question for the main GCC list, but I 
figured I'd ask here since people are likely using crosstool to build 
baremetal cross-compilers over here: Most references from prior revs of 
GCC seem to patch the gcc/config/arm/t-rmprofile file (example: 
https://answers.launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded/+question/189066.) It 
seems some of that config has moved around in recent GCC revs (Ideally 
I'd like to build 10.2.0 to get the latest C++20 support)... is 
t-multilib now the correct file to patch, and if so, does anyone have 
pointers as to how one would build the correct multilib support? I want 
both libgcc and the relevant newlib support for my targets.

- Follow-up from previous question: Assuming I come up with the correct 
patch for the GCC multilib infrastructure, will I get what I'm looking 
for by just enabling multilibs in the ct-ng menuconfig, and supplying my 
local patch file?

Thanks!
