Is gcc-4.1 really the most modern > thing that is easily available? Not sure about crosstool and other platforms but I'm using gcc 4.3.2+ for ARM (on x86_64) and building it is straightforward. Just unpack binutils, gcc (and optionally glibc); configure; make; make install. Prerequisites: kernel headers and minimal glibc installed. (Some recent glibc versions require a patch or two). -- Krzysztof Halasa
