RE: [Ltib] Building toolchain from source

[Morrison, Tom]

I believe there are patches to a 3.x gcc that will get you the
DPFP (I don't have the details of the patch - it was one of my
guys that found the patch/applied to a standard gcc-3.4.x. But,
in general, I would agree that if you don't want to go the patch
route - then gcc-4.x is the way to go...

Hi Tom,

You're right, you can use a standard GNU gcc archive to build for the
E500, but it must be gcc-4.x if you want the DPFP extensions,

Best regards,
