[ts-7000] Re: differences between gcc compilers/linkers

["Kris" <>]

You are correct that if you link statically it will work, but as far as dynamic 
linking goes you will want to match the ABI to the libraries that the system is 
using.

For many of our products we offer a Debian Lenny armel distribution that uses 
EABI binary formats, but for legacy reasons we will not make these default 
shipping.  You can find tarballs on our FTP site:  ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com

We are planning on releasing new products that will ship default using EABI 
based distributions.  The entire TS-SOCKET Macrocontroller series will come out 
with EABI support.
