Hello crosscompilers,
After a break, I've picked up generating crossbinutils again, and I succesfully generated win32->arm-elf-linux crossbins.
I used these for e.g. Sheevaplug crosscompiling
ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/contrib/cross/binutils-2.20-arm-linux-elf.zip
Note that FPC is a bit troublesome in the sense that it wants to run an exe as assembler on windows.
Therefore, if you want to pass extra parameters to as, you can't simply make a wrapper shell script like on unix.
A simple skeleton source for making a simple wrapper is in the "fpcbuild" archive:
I compile this and rename the result to arm-linux-as.exe. This allows me to pass -meabi=4 to AS, as required by sheeva.
One can see the require eabi version on the device by executing by e.g.
cd /usr/lib
readelf -h crt1.o |grep Flags
(install elfutils if necessary)
Greetings
Marco
