Building ARM toolchain - part 1: libs and binutils
Searching the Internet for information on how to build arm toolchain from
scratch I realize that it is very hard to find information about this matter
(and recent one even harder). I will try to fill this lack of information and
try to build toolchain. My main goal is to use a component based on the GNU
public license, and using them in as the newest version as it is possible. What
is toolchain? (according to wikipedia):
In software, a toolchain is the set of programming tools that are used to
create a product (typically another computer program or system of programs). The
tools may be used in a chain, so that the output of each tool becomes the input
for the next, but the term is used widely to refer to any set of linked
development tools.
Requirements
Cross compiler, I create one using crosstool-ng and describe this process in
previous post. I will use arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi as entry point
compiler.
