I disagree here. We should really try (as we have benn doing all the time before) to make U-Boot build with as many toolchains as possible with reasonable effort. Of course, each of us can test only a few, and it's perfectly fine when you as custodian decide to test with a specific a set of tools only. But we are definitely open for requests to support othe rtol chains as well - even if we cannot actively help to develop such support. > If they have sufficient knowledge to care I dont see this > being much extra effort for them..... > > And if they want to encourage others to do the same they can > document it in doc/README.ARM.config.mk. We should also accept patches to make U-Boot build with other tool chains - assuming it doesn't break any of the existing code. Regarding the soft-float issue: I still think this should work with any tool chain version, assuming it was configured correctly.
