Thanks, I've now gotten binutils and gcc up and running for arm-elf and I've built the Sansa e200 simulator and it seems to work (or at least boot up - didn't have much time to test last night). I wasn't able to get gcc 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 compiled on my Fedora 8 system due to some bugs in gcc 4.0.x that are tickled by gcc 4.1.2:
Hm, for the simulator you should be able to use pretty much any gcc version (at least >= 3.0 something), since the simulator is native code.
For the arm-elf version you should probably use 4.0.3, and on just about any Linux system you get that downloaded, built and installed fine with the tools/rockboxdev.sh script and there should be no problems on any recent Fedora system to run that!
The cross-compiler pages on the wiki say that gcc 4.1.0 isn't able to produce correct builds, is this still the case with 4.1.2. Has anyone tried 4.2.x or snapshots of what will become 4.3.x? I don't have any real hardware that is currently supported by Rockbox to test on.
If you wanna play with compiler versions that aren't the recommended ones, then I suggest you do test them out on actual targets to verify that they still work fine!
