Hi Keith, those are big news! I took a look in the source package and I can see some constraints and disadvantages in comparison with gcc-arm-embedded but I think that we can work together (if you want) and improve your package. Constraints * Only C language support. Do you disable c++ for some reason? * Link time optimization disabled. Why? Disadvantages * It's delivered without any prebuilt libc. You can't build a project "out of the box". * It's a lot of work maintain a toolchain working well. Therefore maintain in a good shape the package applying some patches "by hand" can become in a hard work. I'll close the ITPs that I've created. If you are agree, we can follow the discussion in debian-cross. Cheers, -- TiN
