Message-ID: <20071213195617.GF21616@stusta.de> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.17 (2007-11-01) Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org AFAIK the latest available AVR32 toolchains are some patched gcc 4.0 and some patched binutils 2.17, and avr32 is currently the only architecture in the kernel where upstream of both of them is not capable of building a kernel for the architecture. ALthough not technically a requirement, it would be nice if all Linux kernel archs could be compiled with plain upstream toolchains. Even more since at some point in the future [1] current toolchains might no longer be able to compile the then current kernels. Thanks in advance Adrian [1] although it might be a few years from now -- "Is there not promise of rain?" Ling Tan asked suddenly out of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.
