Nope. Why not ask the #ep93xx guys for their cross compiler sources?

Yes. Formerly for the IXDP425 XScale, I have little to no problems with x86_64.


Now, I am on the same host and target hardware (GESBC-9312 with EP9312) and running
FC5 on x86_64 as well. Just threw my IXDP425 XScale into the hands of a co-worker
(but maybe a bit too early :-).

Sure, lotsa. Not the one you mean though.

The work done by the guys at #ep93xx has been excellent, kudos.

Regards,

Leon.
