Hi,

i'am trying to compile a toolchain for teh beagleboard based on newLib
and gcc-4.3 for educational purposes (teaching cross-compiling
process, and distro creation). I found that most the omap toolchain
are based on gLibC and not on NewLib, is there any problem with newLib
and omap ? Shoul i be aware of any patch for gcc ?

Compiling newlib, it appears that it has no support for arm-none-linux-
gnueabi target and thus cannot generate /libgloss/arm/linux.spec.
There is a fix, but i really don't know if it works ...

After finding that newlib doesn't support (in some scripts) the
gnueabi targets, i have decided to switch to EGLIBC. Has anyone build
a toolchain absed on EGLIBC ?
