Hi Ken, I'm currently trying to put together more recent versions of gcc and glibc, namely gcc-4.2.0 and glibc-2.6. There are some problems however because glibc needs fully functional compiler for build and my bootstrap gcc doesn't seem to do the job correctly. I managed to partially build gcc-4.2 and uClibc-0.9.29 but I'm experiencing some strange issues caused by missing support for hardware floating operations in uClibc. Unfortunately all documents that can be found on the net describe the build process for quite old versions of the tools. I plan to write some howto as soon as I have things up and running. I'm leaving for some short holidays though, so it'll take some time. The kernel cross-build process doesn't really differ much from the normal build. You have to put together the toolchain which is a matter of single command when build with cross-tool. I tested quite a lot of combinations and gcc-4.1.1 and glibc-2.3.2 seem to build kernel correctly given that the optimization for size is switched off. When you have the toolchain ready and the PATH set up correctly you just have to set up two environment variables: export ARCH=arm export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-xscale-linux-gnu- and build the kernel as usual (with make menuconfig, make zImage and so on). Cheers, Lukasz
