It's an embedded C library. http://sources.redhat.com/newlib/ I think more people would be interested in uClibc, http://www.uclibc.org/, another embedded C library. I did a quick little test trying to build a cross compiling toolchain with the standard deb sources. I built binutils with the patch, I got linked from this list. I then copied the libs and headers from a previous build of uClibc into /usr/arm-linux/, and then I tried grabbing the gcc source and following the instructions for cross compiling by setting the environment variable GCC_TARGET, and adding uClibc specifics into the dpatch system in gcc. This will fail at the C++ locale build for libstdc++, and I haven't had the time to debug this yet. There must be something different about the stock gcc source I usually use and the patches Debian applies. David -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David Meggy Engineering Technical Solutions Inc.
