AFAIK this release contains all the ARM GCJ stuff we need | and we can ask Andrew Haley if important GCJ patches have been | introduced after the 4.3.0 release. | | GCC 4.3.0 support in OE is still in its infancy and requires some | workarounds. Keep an eye on this list for news about that. I had a look at gcc 4.3.0 last week (I need it for armv7-a[1] support), and the situation has improved a bit: * armv4t works again * all debian and fedora patches were imported into OE Debian has a few libjava patches that I didn't apply (they use a mixture of p0 and p1 patches which I was too lazy to sort out, they are in packages/gcc/gcc-4.3.0/debian/), so you could have a look at those. There are still a few problems, one of which is the includes-fixed problem, the other that gcc refuses to find stdlib.h even when passed the correct -I${STAGING_INCDIR}. Gcc also likes to ICE like crazy on *_Load.c in libmikmod. It's also lacking the uclibc patches. regards, Koen [1] Starting with armv7 gcc distinguishes between various modes (arm, thumb, etc), so you need to pass -march=armv7-a (the cortex-a8 tunefile does that for you) if you want regular ARM mode and set PACKAGE_ARCH to armv7a (without any hyphen, the cortex-a8 tunefile does that for you as well). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iD8DBQFIAO2pMkyGM64RGpERAuafAJ9Vy39Qhs53IWBPww3PmBvyIPpsQQCfSTIC NYTbeqatKb/vJL0RiQ8fbTI= =rIdj -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
