Hi,
* built linaro binary toolchain using Michaels crosstool-ng environment:
* disabled multiarch and pkg-config
* uses eglibc 2.13 (due to RPC headers)
* using Linux kernel version 2.6.32.48 (longterm)
* debugged why /sbin/init fails when using the linaro binary toolchain:
* the loader and libc of the binary toolchain is build for armv7
* the binaries (init, busybox, ...) are linked against this glibc and
using the libdl-2.13.so of the binary toolchain
* it causes the boot to fails due to illegal insn caused by the dl
* built the minimal image for armv7-a:
* use the vexpress_defconfig of linaro 3.1 tree linux-linaro-3.1.git
(instead of the OE vesatilebp kernel)
* boots fine using the vexpress-a9 QEMU system model
* sato image (X and gtk+ apps) for armv7-a:
* Tremor (vorbis): inline assembly only supports ARM mode
quick workaround: undefine _ARM_ASSEM_ to fall back to C
* pulseaudio/libatomics-ops: inline asm that only supports ARM mode
quick workaround: use the latest version from upstream
* gtk+_2.24.8 fails due to the libstdc++ libtool archive
easy fix: delete the *la files (just like most of the distributors)
the *la files prevent the the binary toolchain from being "relocatable"
* sato image boots and shows the gui but the X resolution is higher and
the X cursor behaves strange (probably not a miscompile but a
difference of the linaro kernel)
Regards,
Ken
