Gcc4 And The Sdk


Got a new GCC ARM-Linux build out in testing :).

The big changes in this are the fact it is now using the ARM ASM floating point math routines (something GCC for ARM-Linux does not normaly do as it breaks the 'normal' ABI, not that we care as we have nothing to bring forward compatability wise) and some new small gLibC patches to help with rebuilds of the ME/GPH libs like SDL (you will ALLWAYS have to static link) .

All in all this is a big step forward in floating point speed or so Woogal tells me ;).

Build scripts will be up later with a MinGW build for all you non *nix types if I can just get mSys to stop segfaulting TAR :(..

Oh, it also seems to produce smaller ARM-Linux executables then the older tool-chain, no idea what caused that but they work :eek:.
