Argh, you're persevering... ok, here we go.
Yes, ELDK 3.1 uses GCC-3.3.3 and binutils 2.14 to support 85xx etc.
There is a lot of new packets:
appWeb 1.2.2-1_5
bzip2 1.0.2-5_1
bzip2-devel 1.0.2-5_1
bzip2-libs 1.0.2-5_1
dhclient 3.0.1rc13-2
dhcp 3.0.1rc13-2
dosfstools 2.8-3
dropbear 0.43-1_2
file 3.39-9_2
lrzsz 0.12.20-14_1
net-snmp 5.0.6-17_2
net-snmp-devel 5.0.6-17_2
net-snmp-utils 5.0.6-17_2
As you can see, the focus is on network enabled devices: the powerful
"appWeb" web server, the "dropbear" SSH server, SNMP support, etc.
But there is also another group of new target packets:
autoconf 2.57-3_1
byacc 1.9-22_1
flex 2.5.4a-26_1
libtool 1.4.3-5_1
libtool-libs 1.4.3-5_1
m4 1.4.1-11_1
patch 2.5.4-14_1
rpm 4.1.1-1.8xa_7
rpm-build 4.1.1-1.8xa_7
rpm-devel 4.1.1-1.8xa_7
This is all that was missing for a more or less complete native build
environment; with the current ELDK you can easily build all those
software packets that are difficult to handle in a cross envrionment
(like Perl, to name just one). If you have the resources (RAM,
external storage) on your target you can even bootstrap a complete
Linux distribution on a target system.
ELDK 3.1 comes with support for PowerPC, ARM (new: XScale explicitely
supported), and MIPS (new: little-endian systems supported).
And there is some bug fixes and other minor extensions.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
