Hi
Please add some additional examples how-to build functional toolchains, i am
still unable to create functional arm-x-linux-uclibc(eabi) toolchain.
It takes half year.
There is only one example with some sh4 tuple.

Which versions of binutils, gcc, uclibc, headers to select?
How to disable locale support (if the problem is in it).

I know two other people who have the same problems.

Thank you

Jakub Ladman

i dont see the point. copying and pasting the same sections over and over and
only changing the tuple sounds like a waste of time and space.

such information is way too dynamic to be half maintained. no way i'm doing
it in the handbook. if someone wants to actively watch version combinations
for various tuples, we can talk. otherwise the answer is no.

this is a FAQ that should get added

If you want confirmed tuples of matching versions, I recommend you keep
an eye on crosstool by Dan Kegel, http://kegel.com/crosstool. He has a
set of scripts for each platform supported and the scripts are set up so
you can easily see which package versions appear to work together.

http://kegel.com/crosstool/crosstool-0.43/buildlogs/ is the master chart
of versions.

Unfortunately that doesn't include uclibc, but it's probably a good
starting point.

I would suggest that the gentoo-wiki is a decent place to post
arch-specific instructions. It would definitely be way too crowded in
the gentoo embedded handbook.


I've already written quite a bit on the gentoo wiki for
arm-unknown-linux-gnu and armv4tl-maverick-linux-gnueabi.


Cheers,

Chris

PS: Incidentally, has anyone been having problems with busybox's reboot?
I've had to inject some of the code from 1.0.0 into 1.8.2 in order to
make reboot functional again.
