Where would these many be. Several of the sites that I have visited,
seem to reference the standard GNU/GCC/etc archives, and generally
indicate source, and hence a need to build a cross compilation environment.
I have successfully installed a 'arm-elf' setup, and succuessfully compiled
a linux-2.4.0-test8, with patches and differences from Russell King, and
Nicolas Pitre respectively.
However, my 'real' target is an Intel now known as 'Xscale', and in terms
of Arm archetecture, v5 is the appropriate level. As it is it seems I should
have gotten a SA1100/1110 board and set up a working Linux system
on that platform, rather than trying to cross compile.
At the moment I have a GNU/GCC snapshot
gcc version 2.97 20001204 (experimental)
which compiles certain things correctly, and a 'arm-elf' based on
gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
which compiles the kernel, with some slight modifications, on a Linux 2.2.16
Pentium III class box.
At the moment I have not got linux-2.4.0-test12 to compile completely
with any of my current set of tools.
