This might be a dumb question, but have we considered moving to gcc4.x

I have been using a gcc-4.2.4 based toolchain for ColdFire work
for a few weeks now. I haven't had any problems with it so far.

I have been using a gcc-4.2.1 toolchain for uClinux ARM for
about a year now, no problems there either.

Thanks, Greg.

Did you use any pre-built toolchain or toolchain source package? Or
did you just build from GNU source?
I build my own from gnu source. You can download my arm-linux 4.2.1
toolchain from:

http://ftp.snapgear.org/pub/snapgear/tools/arm-linux/arm-linux-tools-20070808.tar.gz

The instructions I used to build it are at:

http://ftp.snapgear.org/pub/snapgear/tools/arm-linux/build-arm-linux-4.2.1

This toolchain is multilibed for soft and hard float, and also
for big and little endian. I use it for both MMUless and MMU arm
targets (like ARM7TDMI, xscale, ARM9, etc).

I use it specifically against uClinux-dist, so it works well for
that.

Other vairous toolchain collections for use with uClinux-dist
also at http://www.snapgear.org/downloads2.html.

I have a bunch of newer version ones I am running now (at least
for sh-linux, arm-linux, m68k-uclinux and i386-linux) on my dev
machines. I'll probably put these up just after I release a new
uClinux-dist stable.


Great! We will definitely try this out! Big thanks.

On a side note, are you using EABI or not?  We will probably find out
soon, but just thought checking with you now.

No, not using EABI. Using the old ABI.

Regards
Greg
