Hi

I recently build GCC for XScale architecture and I see that there is one 
binary called. xscale-elf-gcc-4.0.0 which is same size as xscale-elf-gcc 
binary

What is the difference between these two binaries and why is 
xscale-elf-gcc-4.0.0
provided ?

Thanks for your help

Khem

There is no difference.  In fact the two installed names are normally
hard-linked together, so they really are precisely the same.  gcc has
traditionally installed a both a gcc binary and a gcc binary with an
explicit version number.  This is handy when you install multiple
versions of the compiler on the same system.

Hi Ian

Thanks for the information.

Is it possible to tell build system not to generate this file at all 
during build?

Thanks

Khem

No, there is no option for that.

You can just remove it after running 'make install', though.
