Re: Re: eCos tools' gcc minor version


This brings some questions in my mind.
I do not understand what the current patch to
gcc2.95 is doing and if it is to solve a general compiler problem or a specific patch to get eCos working only.

More generally I am wondering if next compiler
version will need to be patched to work with
eCos.

And my main issue is to find out if I could use
the same compiler to build some objects for Linux and eCos target in case this object/libraries have nothing to do with the underlying OS.
I would like to avoid to recompile everything
whether I am compiling for Linux, eCos or eCos synthetic target.

Thanks,
Sam.

In terms of features it's clearer to 2.95. It was branched about when 2.95
was branched to be stabilised.

For strongarm you probably don't need a patch at all.

One of things I'll be doing as part of (or at least immediately after) v2
is released is updating all the instructions for 3.0.
