crosstool-NG 1.6.0 has s390 ELF support. This tool allows building a complete cross development environment for s390 on, for example, a Linux desktop: binutils, gcc, glibc and friends. It downloads the selected versions of the tools and build them. It is recommended to add the install directory to your PATH environment variable to execute the cross tools.
Harold Grovesteen -------- Original Message -------- Subject: crosstool-NG 1.6.0 is out Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2010 00:40:47 +0100 From: Yann E. MORIN <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Hello all! I'm pleased to announce the release of crosstool-NG 1.6.0! As usual, there has been quite a number of improvements, new features, and bug fixes all around. The most notable changes are listed below: On the architectures side, there is now support for two new archs: s390 (32- and 64-bit variants) and m68k (bare-metal). Also, ARM now defaults to EABI and has config knobs for noMMU, THUMB and interworking. As for the C libraries, it should now possible to build newlib on archs other than AVR32 (ARM tested so far). eglibc has support for user-provided option groups (a-la uClibc, but simpler). Available versions have been updated to match upstrweam (where possible). And of course there are other smaller enhancements, and a lot of bugs have been fixed. This marks the end of the 1.5 maintenance branch, and the beginning of the 1.6 maintenance branch. From now on, we'll follow a 3-month cycle between releases, which means next release is due late in April.
