Well I have one tool chain call "arm-linux-" and one called "arm-elf-" that I installed. I don't remember where I got the arm-linux tools from, but the arm-elf tools came from
Well, if you don't even know the differences in the configurations yourself, how do you expect us to explain them to you? Without even knowing where one toolchain might be coming from???

The strange thing is these compiler define slightly different macros
Obviously they are configured differently.

Now the problem I run into with u-boot is that the arm-elf-gcc compiler defines the symbol "arm", which the arm-linux-gcc does not.
Then it is broken. "arm" is not a reserved symbol by the compiler.

I was just wondering what tool to use for u-boot. I figured the answer was "ELDK, or course".
Personally, I wouldn't trust a tool where I don't know how it was configured, or what for, or why, or by whom ;-)
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
