Hello all!
I'm pleased to announce the release of crosstool-NG 1.14.0!
As usual, there has been quite a number of improvements, new features,
and bug fixes all around. The most notable changes are listed below:
- features:
- initial support for multi-lib
- build manuals for components that have manuals
- add support for NLS
- optionally optimise newlib for size
- archs:
- ARM: introduce softfp
- x86: recognise prescott as an i686
- updated components:
- gcc: 4.6.2, Linaro 4.5 and 4.6
- strace: 4.6
- linux: multipe updates, and up to 3.2
- glibc: 2.14.1
- mpfr: 3.1.0
- binutils: 2.22
- gdb: update Linaro versions
- uClibc: 0.9.32.1
- infrastructure:
- configure: now uses autoconf
- configure: computes local version
- scripts: execution backtrace is now properly dumped
- documentation:
- strategies for assembling root filesystems
Of all the above, I would like to emphasize two new features. The first one
that comes to mind is the initial support for building multi-lib toolchains.
This is curently limited to glibc/eglibc based toolchains, but looks like it
could be easy to use for uClibc as well (and maybe newlib, too). The second
one is the ARM softfp support; ARM softfp is using hardware instructions,
but uses software floating point ABI, thus making it compatible with 'legacy'
soft-float libraries.
One point to be noted is the change in ./configure behavior. Previously, to
use crosstool-NG from its source tree, one would have to call ./configure
with the --local arg. Now, due to using autoconf, the flag had to be renamed
to --enable-local. Also, all kconfig frontends are compiled once and for all
at install time, and not once for every new toolchain.
I'd like to thank all contributors for their many good contributions, and
especially the Linaro toolchain team for their contributions (ARM softfp,
manuals...) and Konrad EISELE (Gaisler) for his multilib submission that
really got me started. Of course, all contributions are important!
Thank you all!
This marks the beginning of the 1.14 maintenance branch, and the end of
the previous maintenance branch. As always, comments and suggestions
are most welcome!
