On the bright side I've s= tarted to learn more about how the GCC build system works. :) My host machi= ne is Mac OSX 10.6.4, Snow Leopard. I've been able to get GCJ for Mac OSX (= darwin) working (though with a few issues), but I can't the cross compiler = to even finish compiling. So my first question is really just a request for advice: what version of = GCC should I start with? Which one is likely to give me the most success? R= ecent 4.5 builds?=20=20 Second, should I be using glibc or newlib?=20=20 Thanks for any help. If there's already some prebuilt GCJ for ARM binaries = I'm willing to try those as well. Thanks!
