Jonathan

By off the shelf, I mean not creating a new target description file. Something
which I'm not at all experienced in (optimizations are my thing so I'm an
amateur at creating a cross-compiler.)

I can't seem to figure out what the binutils or the gcc target is for Thumb-2.
If you know, please let me know. I suspect that is an obsolete target
that no longer exists for the latest binutils and GCC 12.

Thanks,

Gary

The subject line says it all...

I'm beginning to think off the shelf gcc cross compilers are impossible
to create because of binutils.

Why?

What do you mean by "off the shelf"?

At other companies we for the most part
created custom assemblers, loaders and libraries from scratch
when we built a gcc cross compiler.

Why can't you just build a cross binutils too?
