Someone needs to figure out how to rebuild it I guess.. And potentially
to update it to the latest gcc version. This might be tricky, but is a
good learning experience :)

Thanks!

I'm still pondering if it's worth using this cross- structure. Okay, I mean providing these toolchains via our distro. Currently there are tools that can build them very easily for you (like buildroot) with custom params and so on.

It tends to get too specific to each project, like building gcc to be used with uclibc or glibc. Would we provide cross-arm-gcc-uclibc and also cross-arm-gcc-glibc? and now -eglibc too?

Perhaps it would be simpler/easier/smarter to support these aux. tools to build them...

Cya!

The overall "policy" to become a contributor is the starting message :

In short:
1) open a ticket on bugzilla, in category 'BS', with the following information:

- login
- public ssh key
- email address

2) get a mentor to approve this request.

(and no, for the moment i've no time to mentor you :-)

 I mean, we could provide buildroot and some certified default configs (as it already ships some ones), for example.
