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

["FrankP" <>]

I'm currently preparing the development tools to use with the TS-4200. It will 
do a lot of floating point, and I want to tune a compiler to the CPU. I've been 
able to generate a few different EABI compilers with crosstools-ng, but am 
having trouble with the floating point libraries in glibc with the OABI 
versions.

Sounds like I want a complete EABI system, though. Is there an EABI version of 
Debian for the TS-4200? I don't see one on the FTP site.

If so (if not) what can I do?

Thanks,
Frank
