I think so yes, but I'm not sure. If you said arm-elf in the mail Subject
you might get the attention of somebody who knows the details.
so just repost with a changed subject?
Have you tried to obtain the sources from whoever provided the original
compiler that you're trying to replicate?
so far not available - the original providing company (Microcross) is
long defunct (over a decade now)
but im still trying to reach someone
It was very common at that time for suppliers to use slightly modified
gcc sources for microcontrollers (especially ARM, but also for other
targets). Typically manufacturers and some major third-party gcc
builders were ahead of mainline in support for some microcontroller
cores and workarounds for known hardware bugs, and they also often
backported such changes from newer gcc mainline to older gcc releases.
So there is a very real chance that the sources you have are not original.
You could download the archived release from the gcc website and compare
the sources to get some idea if they have changed.
And if you don't get hold of someone from Microcross, you might have
luck with someone from Code Sourcery. I believe they were doing a lot
of the work on ARM gcc on behalf of microcontroller manufacturers at
that time.
