[ECOS] ARM PID big-endian in RedHat 7.1 Question....

[Yu-Hsueh Chou]

Hello all,
 
   I would like to use ARM by big-endian library. I have tried the
binutils-2.10.1,gcc-core-2.95.2, gcc-core-2.95.2, Insight-5.0,
follow all of processes from the ecos web. it works well for
ARM big-endian as it support big-endian library in 
/tools/gcc-core-/H-i686-pc-linux-gnu/include/lib/be/libgcc.a
I believe this folder is created by the patch file the ecos web 
provided. so that we can use the ARM PID big-endian functions.
 
Right now, I need to use binutils_2.11.2, gcc-core_3.0, 
gcc-g++_3.0. and insight_5.0 from the ARM PID.
but I have no patch file for this new version gcc. how can
I get the big-endian library for ARM by modifying the makefile
of gcc? or anyone can do me a favor to give me advices 
to overcome this trouble.  
 
    thanks for your any help..

gcc 3.0 is quite broken for ARM. Wait for 3.0.1 or stick with 2.95. Or
alternatively there are vendors such as Red Hat who can sell you working
modern versions of ARM tools.

I have not built it for big-endian arch's, but I'm pretty sure
all you have to do is use the proper target name when compiling
the gcc and glibc.  i.e. armv4b (the b is for big endian).

Hope this helps.
