distribution != angstrom There are more distributions out there. The root cause of the problem is that a distro can specify a version of a tool (let's take gcc as an example) that is not supported by a specific hardware architecture. I'd say what we really need is a way to allow a processor architecture to specify which versions of binutls and gcc and friends are supported for that hw architecture. Mind you I talk about processor architectures, not boards. (actually I guess this extends to every package that contains assembly files or inline assembly) The problem became more visible with nios2 as this is an architecture that is not (yet) supported by gcc. Patches for now exist only for 4.1.2.
