Hi,

 

I was able to get linaro-6.1-2016.07 compiled for both aarch64 and armhf. I also have some prebuilt 5.2 and 5.3 binaries, plus a few other 4.8 and 4.9 compilers from quite some time back. I've used these for building a Linux 3.10 kernel, and the newer linaro-6.1 fails during kernel compile. The issue seems to be the assembler does not recognize option "-EL" (all of the ARM systems I'm building for are little endian, I've not seen a big endian system).

 

I am wondering if support for options "-EB" and "-EL" are part of the configure options? There is the generic "help" listing the "--enable-FEATURE=ARG", but I do not see a comprehensive list of features this might deal with. I'm hoping that big/little endian for armhf and aarch64 can be enabled with this. Otherwise I'm hoping to find more information on what I might need to do or change for compatibility with the "-EL" option.

 

For reference, I have similar templates for 32-bit and 64-bit configuration (different triplet and build root). Here's one:

export SRC='/home/build/linaro/gcc-linaro-snapshot-6.1-2016.07'
export BUILD='/home/build/linaro/32bit'
export TRIPLET=arm-linux-gnueabihf
export CLONE=/usr/local/sysroot/${TRIPLET}
export VENDOR_ID=gcc-linaro-6.1-2016.07
export LINUX_ARCH=armhf
 
cd $BUILD
${SRC}/configure --prefix=/usr/local/${TRIPLET}/${VENDOR_ID} --target=${TRIPLET} \
 --with-build-sysroot=${CLONE} \
 --enable-languages=c \
 --with-sysroot=/
 

 

Thanks!
