Hi Lance,

I was looking at the changes in the 20071107 patch and noticed the
following in vendors/config/arm/config.arch:

ifneq ($(shell which arm-linux-20070808-gcc),)
ifeq ($(UCLINUX_BUILD_BOOT),1)
CROSS_COMPILE = arm-linux-20061213-
else
CROSS_COMPILE = arm-linux-20070808-
endif
else
CROSS_COMPILE = arm-linux-
endif

Does this mean there's a new (20070808) version of the arm compiler
available somewhere?

I have been using that 20070808 version for the last couple of months,
and it seems pretty good. It is based on gcc-4.2.1. (Note that it
doesn't have the XIP or similar code that you might want for non-MMU
builds - but it does have elf2flt for simple non-MMU building).

I haven't put it up anywhere yet, but if you really want to use
it I can put it up on snapgear.org.


I've been using a custom 4.1.2 based compiler but
if a newer community-supported compiler is available I'd like to switch
to it. Also, any idea when the next version of the distribution will be
released (it's been several moths since the testing version was announced)?

The main thing holding up a final release is some bugs in the test
release. The most critical I think is the busybox/NFS mounting problem
reported by [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a 2.6.23 kernel I want
to put in as well, and currently non-mmu arm is broken in that.


Lastly, is there any chance a working version of gdbserver for arm will
make it into the next release (I believe someone posted the changes
needed last spring)?

If it doesn't break other targets. Can you send a pointer to
the changes posted, I don't recall it.

Regards
Greg
