Imho, the arm support in gcc-3.0/gcc-3.1 is better than in 2.95.x.
We are using gcc-3.0.4 (+small floating point patch)
without much problems with our own LFS based (mini)-distribution.
(with xscale as target cpu)
You could take a look at the testresults <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/>
to see how gcc for arm compares to the other processors.
The only place were we are still using gcc-2.95.3+a bunch of patches
is when compiling the linux kernel.

Beg your pardon? I'm running just such a kernel (2.4.18) compiled
with version 3.0.4 and having no issues. Boxes at work are running
2.4.7 compiled with 3.0.2.

Debian "woody" already ships GCC 3.0 as an option. GCC 3.1 packages
will be available shortly as well. Either of these should work fine on
ARM.

I'm not interested in compiling linux kernel. I need gcc 3.1 because our
c++ project is not compilable by Debian's gcc 2.95.4, I think due to
some bug in c++ parser (I haven't reported it yet).
Thanks,

The Linux kernel can't be compiled with GCC 3.0 or later versions at
present. I'm not sure yet exactly what the issues are.

Hi,
I'd like to ask what is status of ARM support in GCC 3.1. I'm curious why
all pages related to ARM toolchain on www.handhelds.org and on
www.linuxdevices.com refer only about usage of gcc 2.95.2/3 and not about
usage of 3.0.x or 3.1.
Thanks,
Karel
