powerpc-eabi-gcc compatible with Diab-Data CC ?

[Jeff Bevis]

Hi Christian,

We've done essentially that with our PPC403 software.  There are
many issues to deal with, but I can say that it does in fact use R2 and
R13 for the same purpose as Diab's compiler.   We use the
following compiler options:

 -meabi -mcpu=403 -mregnames\
 -msoft-float -mmultiple -mbig-endian -msdata=eabi -c
-fno-common\
 -Wall -Wno-format -Wno-parentheses -Wno-main -fno-builtin 

The important one is -meabi, so you get eabi register usage like
Diab.  Feel free to email me any other questions you have;  it
took us a long time to migrate successfully from Diab to GCC, and I'd be
glad to help.

Hi, 

I'm interested in using a powerpc-eabi-gcc 
with object files produced by the Diab-Data CC 
on a MPC555 platform. 

Does anybody know if that's possible? 

If so, what command line options do I need to 
supply to GCC? 

I found I 1997 post to this list in which 
someone seems to indicate that he's done that. 

(looking at the .s output of my powerpc-eabi-gcc,

it doesn't seem to use registers R2 and R13 to 
access sections .sdata and .sbss like the Diab 
compiler does.....doesn't look very compatible 
to me.....) 

Anybody?
