Building ARM GNU Cross compiler

Question

A similiar (less descriptive) post is here.

I\'m trying to roll my own tool chain using recent releases on Ubuntu and was hoping there was enough of a Linux communit

Answer 1

I recently built a GNU toolchain for ARM using crosstool-ng. It took a bit of trial and error to figure out which versions of the toolchain components would play nice together, but I finally got it working with the following versions:

• binutils 2.19.1
• gcc 4.3.2
• gmp 4.2.2
• linux kernel 2.6.29.1
• mpfr 2.3.1
• uClibc 0.9.30.1

See if these work for you too.

Also, OpenWrt as a part of it's build process creates a cross-compiling toolchain. You may want to try that, selecting one of the ARM-based boards as a target, even if you aren't interested in making a wireless router.
