The gcc version that is available for the aforementioned processor is 2.8.1. On the other hand the aforementioned processor does not embed a MMU, so we are using the uClinux patch with the 2.4.x kernel. I am wondering if with the 2.8.1 version we will be able to obtain a reliable 2.4.x kernel. According to the /Documentation/Changes file the gcc 2.95.3 is required... Between the gcc version 2.8.1 and the 2.95.3 some extra flags and options have been added, but are all these requisite for ALL the processors ??? Regards Yannis Mitsos
