I have been using a gcc-4.2.4 based toolchain for ColdFire work
for a few weeks now. I haven't had any problems with it so far.

I have been using a gcc-4.2.1 toolchain for uClinux ARM for
about a year now, no problems there either.


Thanks, Greg.

Did you use any pre-built toolchain or toolchain source package? Or
did you just build from GNU source?

I build my own from gnu source. You can download my arm-linux 4.2.1
toolchain from:

http://ftp.snapgear.org/pub/snapgear/tools/arm-linux/arm-linux-tools-20070808.tar.gz

The instructions I used to build it are at:

http://ftp.snapgear.org/pub/snapgear/tools/arm-linux/build-arm-linux-4.2.1

This toolchain is multilibed for soft and hard float, and also
for big and little endian. I use it for both MMUless and MMU arm
targets (like ARM7TDMI, xscale, ARM9, etc).

I use it specifically against uClinux-dist, so it works well for
that.

Other vairous toolchain collections for use with uClinux-dist
also at http://www.snapgear.org/downloads2.html.

I have a bunch of newer version ones I am running now (at least
for sh-linux, arm-linux, m68k-uclinux and i386-linux) on my dev
machines. I'll probably put these up just after I release a new
uClinux-dist stable.

Regards
Greg
