At the moment all uClinux 2.4 work is being done with gcc-2.95.2, compiled for an m68k-elf target. This includes libraries and applications - which are not being compiled as PIC. This is coming, but the gcc patches required to do proper PIC in this environment are not done yet. Some of the uClinux 2.0.x targets use m68k-elf as well, such as the ColdFire's. gcc-2.7 was used to generate m68k-coff (and pic) and this version of gcc does not support ColdFire targets. Some of the other architecture ports also use elf based gccs. > I'm trying to find a list of targets which binutils and gcc support. I > can't seem to find any. Is there a comprehensive list somewhere?
