dynamic linking issue

[Leon]

Hi,
	Thanks for your reply.

	I only know that this SoC based on ARM9TDMI with MMU.
They create new ARM type based on ARM9TDMI and modify source codes in the
kernel.
They only use linux-2.6 for their next-gen chipset (still under
development).
So they only want to fine-tune the current chipset and will not upgrade
their kernel and toolchain.
Since they continue to improve it, it is better to leave the kernel
unchanged.

In ARM Linux web site, there are only gcc-2.95.3, gcc-3.0, gcc-3.2.
I used to build the toolchain with binutils-2.11.2, gcc-2.95.3, glibc-2.2.3
and it works fine.
Then I try to use gcc-3.0 or gcc-3.2 to compile this kernel with my own
modification but it always fails with the confliction between the soft and
hard FPU.
It seems that it is not easy to use gcc-3.x above to compile linux-2.4.19.
So I try to use gcc-2.95.3 in buildroot.

If gcc-2.95.3 is too old, is it possible to use gcc-3.x above to compile
linux-2.4.19 and use that version in buildroot?
Or the kernel and application use different toolchains?

I appreciate your suggestion.

Thanks,

Leon
