More ARM binutils fuckage

[Michael K. Edwards]

Thanks Lennert.  Judging from some of your other postings, you're the
sort of expert I was hoping would reply.  Forgive me if I respond by
peppering you with questions.  :-)  I have dropped Sam and
linux-kernel but kept the linux-arm-* and crossgcc lists.

Is this gcc configured with -gnu or -gnueabi?  Are you using crosstool
to do the inject-glibc-headers dance?  If so, are you still using a
pre-2.4 glibc without the "ports" add-on?  Do you turn on TLS and/or
OABI userland compatibility in your kernel config?

Is this toolchain built with crosstool, and if so, are you using one
of the previously posted patches for the glibc 2.4+ configuration
dance or did you roll your own?  Does NPTL work for you in this
configuration?

Thanks,
