[Pxa-linux-users] NPTL EABI WMMXT Toolchain- issues

[Warren S. <wo...@gm...>]

OK, I successfully installed the toolchain mentioned in a previous post.

I am attempting to build kernel 2.6.19.1 and having trouble. Using the
NPTL EABI WMMXT toolchain, I am able to successfully compile the
kernel. However, after u-boot extracts the image and attempts to boot
it (ie prints 'Kernel Starting') nothing else hangs.

So, I am trying to build kernel 2.6.19.1 using the
arm-linux-toolchain-bin-12-15-04-driscoll toolchain instead. However,
2.6.19.1 requires at least binutils 2.16.

So, I would like to try the older toolchain but with driscoll-binutils
upgraded from 2.14.90 to driscoll-binutils-2.16.92. However, the only
place I can locate this is wrapped up as part of the NPTL EABI WMMXT
toolchain.

Where did the NPTL EABI WMMXT toolchain come from? How can I go about
assembling it from source? Failing that, what makes driscoll-binutils
different from binutils?

I would like to see if I can run 2.6.19.1 without EABI or WMMXT
optimizations, to see if that is what is causing the problem.

Please, any help would be much obliged.
