What is the difference between the 3 (?) types og targets for powerpc? ELF = Extended Linker Format EABI = Embedded Application Binary Interface Linux = ?
Is it 3 different layouts for the binary file? The machine-type in GCC is stated as: i386-redhat-linux powerpc-elf powerpc-unknown-linux powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu What does these parts define (*-*-* = processor-binaryformat-system, or?) ? Which target will you suggest using when working with a MPC823 using PPCBoot ? We want to build our own kernel for the MPC823 - can we use Newlib for that? - from the documentation to Newlib it seems as if there is missing some hardware-specific parts in newlib which is needed by Linux...? We will only be running normal/simple apps with the kernel and don't need some "almost-never-user" functions from the libary. If we can use newlib (hope so since it is smaller) - should we compile the cross-gcc with the option --with-newlib ? Maybe stupid questions (hope not).... Thanks in avance!
