Hi everybody, I have been checking the ecos pre-built toolchain for ARM kindly contributed by ecoscentric (ecoscentric-gnutools-arm-eabi-20081213-sw.cygwin.tar.bz2) to use it with eCos 3.0 and I have realized there is no newlib.h file anymore. In fact the only reference to newlib I could found was --with-newlib in the arm-eabi\bin\arm-eabi-gccbug file (and a couple or headers which begin with "// Specific definitions for newlib -*- C++ -*-").
Previous arm toolchain (ecoscentric-gnutools-arm-elf-1.4-2.cygwin.tar.bz2) contained newlib 1.11.0 and all the respective headers. The latest EABI/ARM toolchain provided by CodeSourcery also contains those files and newlib 1.16.0. Does it means newlib has been dropped from the recommended toolchain? Does it means that if I want to use newlib I will have to assemble and compile my own toolset? Which are the advantages of using glibc for embedded development when not using Linux?
