>From a practical perspective, that is likely true. However, the fact that the Linux kernel and U-Boot are traditionally built with toolchains that target Linux is abstractly wrong. The kernel and U-Boot are not Linux applications (which is what a *-linux* toolchain is intended to build); they are bare-metal applications (which is what a *-eabi* toolchain is intended to build). That is one of the reasons that building the kernel and U-Boot tends to require lots of complex command-line options; you have to tell the compiler that it can't assume it's building a Linux application. -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery m...@codesourcery.com (650) 331-3385 x713 _______________________________________________ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain
