armv4t

armv4t

[Kevin Handy]

What version of GCC will build for a cross --target=armv4t-linux-eabi,
which I believe is the right code for an ixp425 processor? The host
compiler is gcc-4.3.3 on a Linux-debian-test system. I have also tried
unsuccessfully tried the armv5t target, with similar results.

I have tried numerous versions, and get nothing but shell errors
(such as "cannot compute suffix of object files"), and numerous syntax
errors with the gcc source. I have built --target=xscale-elf in the past
without any problems, but that target apparently no longer exists.

In which version of gcc was xscale-elf dropped?

I am trying to get a version of the gcc compiler that will compile for
and ixp425 processor with the newer eabi, but I cannot find any version
that will accept the target options, and successfully build. Nor can I get
it to build with any --target I could thing of, eabi or otherwise.

Has support the arm systems been dropped in gcc? and if so, in which
version?

I need to find out where to look for a functional version of the gcc
cross compiler for this cpu.

Don't try to put it in the triplet.  Try using --with-cpu instead, and
a normal armv4t-linux-gnueabi triplet.

I'm pretty sure Xscale implements ARM v5TE though, so none of thse
hoops should be necessary.

If you can't build GCC for your target, I suggest you either use a
help list for that purpose (gcc-help or the crosstool or buildroot
lists), or find a pre-compiled ARM Linux toolchain.
