:: Okay, its moved. GCC and binutils are quite interlinked so should remain in the same section. I don't, however, see any problem with splitting the newlib bit into a separate section (although then the overlap with [[Porting Newlib]] is quite apparent), so we could just have links at the bottom of the GCC/binutils bit to the newlib page and also to a (future) PDCLib page. Unfortunately, I don't have much experience with PDCLib. Originally, I tried with glibc (glutton for punishment) but eventually gave up trying to understand their definition of 'unix' and 'posix' (they implement some aspects of the Single Unix Specification, and you implement the rest. Unfortunately, they don't explain anywhere what you are supposed to implement, and adding each function tended to require a complete rebuild, including reconfiguring every directory). I chose newlib late one night because pcmattman had already demonstrated [[Porting Newlib|proof-of-principle]]. |

:: I'm all for expanding the cross compiler tutorial, but have concerns that we might make it too complex beyond the level of instructing new visitors on the methods for building a cross compiler. Basically, I don't want to fill up the forum with lots of simple questions from people not following the instructions precisely. It should be made extremely clear that this article is not intended for beginners. |

:: As I've now moved this article to the main namespace, I'll remove the 'Creating a new binutils target' which was my forerunner to this article and is really just a less-well written and designed version of the first section. |
