arm/iwmmxt VFP errors during linking

[Nick Nuziale]

Hi Allan and Scott,

There is not too much more to expand...

/usr/crosstool/arm-iwmmxt-linux-gnu/gcc-3.4.2-glibc-2.3.3/lib/gcc/arm-iwmmxt-linux-gnu/3.4.2/../../../../arm-iwmmxt-linu
x-gnu/bin/ld: ERROR: /cygdrive/c/cygwin/opt/nn/lib/libappbase-xscale-r.so 
uses VFP instructions, whereas /cygdrive/c/tmp/nnuziale/build/blahblah does 
not
/usr/crosstool/arm-iwmmxt-linux-gnu/gcc-3.4.2-glibc-2.3.3/lib/gcc/arm-iwmmxt-linux-gnu/3.4.2/../../../../arm-iwmmxt-linu
x-gnu/bin/ld: failed to merge target specific data of file 
/cygdrive/c/cygwin/opt/nn/lib/libappbase-xscale-r.so

I have not applied the patch in Scott Merritt's posting yet, perhaps this 
will fix the VFP problems??

Also, another problem with the linking that I am having is that the standard 
C++ library needed by libappbase-xscale-r.so is "libstdc++.so.5" whereas the 
one built from the cross compiler I built is a different version (so.6 I 
believe) which results in some errors upon linking as shown below.  I do not 
have the source for libappbase-xscale-r.so but I need to link with it, so 
essentially my standard C++ library needs to be the same as was used for 
libappbase-xscale-r.so.  Is this just a matter of using the correct version 
of glibc when building my cross compiler, and if so how do I know which 
version of glibc to use?
