Problems with arm-elf with soft-float

Tue May 6 11:53:00 GMT 2003

I'm trying to configure an arm-elf toolchain for AT91 (using the EB40a
evaluation board).

Hopefully I'm at the last obstacle:

I've configured and compiled the compiler/newlib with the scripts below, but
when I try to link an example application, I get a linker error since libgcc.a is
hard floating point and my code is soft-floating point.

I tried to modify gcc/config/t-arm-elf to compile a permutation of 
libgcc.a with and without hardware floating point, but to no avail. t-arm-elf
is modified to produce the interwork/thumb permutations.

My latest attempt was to configure gcc + newlib w/--nfp

Output from linking problems:
