Hello,
I apologise in advance if these questions have been asked before,
and are stupid: I must confess to being a complete arm-linux newbie, although
I have had five years experience with ix86 linux.
I have installed the version of RedHat ArmLinux from
ftp.arm.uk.linux.org, which has kernel 2.0.36 and uses a.out on my
StrongARM RPC. I would now like to move the whole lot up to
kernel 2.2.12 and the latest binutils and tool chain. AFAICT from
the documentation this requires me to build a cross-compiler on
an ix86 box, and then compile everything from there (in effect
rebuilding the whole system). As well from the speed issues and the
whole 12Mb max of a.out are there any ways of redoing the whole lot
on the SARPC? I suspect not.
Is there an alternative source for a 2.2 installation (I notice that
there is talk of a debian install for example) to save me from doing
all of this?
Many thanks in advance,
Toby Bryans
