Error output: *** Newlib does not support CPU armeb make[1]: *** [configure-target-newlib] Error 1 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... Proposed fix: newlib-1.16.0/newlib/configure.host 99c99 - arm) --- + arm*) The above proposed fix gets past this error, however, being new to crossdev, I do not fully understand the implications of the proposed change.
what really matters is whether the resulting toolchain produces binaries that actually execute on the target CPU. if they do, i dont see a problem with the patch, and you should post it to newlib mailing list: newlib@sources.redhat.com http://sourceware.org/newlib/ (i would, but the GNU guys do not like proxy patch posting ...)
So, does this actually work? Is this a problem still? I don't have the hardware to actually test if the binaries work or not.
