Barebones [ i686-elf / ARMv7-eabi / MIPS ] cross-compiler & toolchain

This repo provides a stand-alone barebones gcc cross-compiler and toolchain for the following target architectures:

• i686 (32-bit ELF),
• ARMv7 (eabi),
• MIPS

There are two platform flavors, 32- and 64-bit depending on your host linux environment. The correct one is automatically chosen when the setenv.sh script is run.

Provided versions

Setup details

Git clone this repository, then run the setenv.sh script to configure your PATH:

TODO

• Build 64-bit platform tools for ARMv7 target
• Build 32- & 64-bit platform tools for MIPS target

ARM build was exactly the same except: export TARGET=arm-none-eabi. Likewise MIPS build was exactly the same except: export TARGET=mips.
