Hello, i'm trying to build my own tool-chain for an arm7tdmi
(interworking and nofmult).

First, i downloaded the toolchain at
http://embdev.net/articles/ARM_GCC_toolchain_for_L... ,
and everything was fine.

Now, i built my owm toolchain and everything is right when i'm compiling
in ARM mode, but i can't compile in interworking mode because i miss
some files in the directories /interwork (libm.a).

I just put the same flags as the before link, and i patched the
t-arm-elf (gcc) with the next:

MULTILIB_OPTIONS    += mhard-float/msoft-float
MULTILIB_DIRNAMES   += fpu soft
MULTILIB_EXCEPTIONS += *mthumb/*mhard-float*
# 
MULTILIB_OPTIONS    += mno-thumb-interwork/mthumb-interwork
MULTILIB_DIRNAMES   += normal interwork
# 
MULTILIB_OPTIONS    += mcpu=arm7
MULTILIB_DIRNAMES   += nofmult
MULTILIB_EXCEPTIONS += *mthumb*/*mcpu=arm7*

processing the newlib1.17 i had the next errors too:

/bin/sh: line 4: arm-elf-ranlib: command not found
/bin/sh: line 4: arm-elf-ranlib: command not found
make[4]: *** [install-toollibLIBRARIES] Error 127
make[3]: *** [install-am] Error 2
make[2]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: *** [install-target-newlib] Error 2
make: *** [install] Error 2

At the moment i can "survive" working in ARM mode xD, but i want to
compile in Thumb/interworking mode as i guess i will have better
performance (actually i need it because i have loads of float operations
in my code).


By the way, i read the performance of the eabi is better for float
operation. Actually i built a tool-chain with target=arm-none-eabi, and
it compiles with inter-working without any problems, but i don't know if
that code will run in a arm7tdmi (AT91SAM7S256). I will test it on
Thursday.

Thanks in advance.

Well, for gdb i have more errors:

cc1: warnings being treated as errors

../../gdb-6.8/gdb/eval.c:1705: error: ‘subscript_array’ may be used uninitialized in this function

make[1]: *** [install-gdb] Error 2
make: *** [install] Error 2

I have an "extense" log, let me know what it's importat to paste xD.

After this, i'll register myself for edit xD, sorry.

I forgot to mention it, i'm using gcc (Debian 4.4.1-4), and the
toolchain sources are:

gcc-4.3.3
newlib 1.17.0
binutils 2.19.1
gdb 6.8

Someone found the configure flag, will make without error
