Re: [PATCH 2 of 2] cc/gcc: 4.4.5, add arm-softfloat-libgcc patch from buildroot


This patch makes ARM toolchains works again /for crosstool-ng/ -- if
it was adapted from a previous version that had the same behaviour and
fixed the same issue, what's the problem really ?

SOME people are more concerned about getting stuff done than the way
it is done, I have absolutely no interest of getting a "proper fix"
from gcc guys that will appear with gcc 4.5.5 in 8 months time (or
whatever), I'm more concerned about getting gcc working on my platform
for my particular purpose, "today" if possible. Thanks to Bryan who
had been following the issue, I'm not staring at a non working
toolchain for the foreseeable future.

It certainly makes sense to me, as my build now works...
