Re: Linaro and ARMv5

Hi Pedro. From a compiler point of view we take the 'do no harm' approach. The compiler is intended for the Cortex-A series and all new work is focused on that area, but the ARMv5 support should be no worse than the upstream version. Give the toolchain a try as the bug fixes and performance impr

Linaro and ARMv5

2010-08-24 Thread Pedro I. Sanchez
Hello, I'm looking for some advice on the feasibility of using Linaro on one of my projects based on an AT91SAM9260 Atmel processor, which has an ARM926EJ-S ARMv5 processor core. I see that the Linaro builds do not support v5 and I wonder, what would be involved in "recompiling" Linaro with v5

So I gave a try to cross-compiling gstreamer0.10 and it some interesting issues. First, I used an i386 chroot instead of an amd64 chroot since I thought that might help a bit with package names; I'm not actually sure that was needed, but it might influence results. Second, here is how I ran
