Dear "Ing.G.Morandi (Portatile)",

Few weeks ago, I've followed a thread on this list regarding the toolchain should be used to compile code for omap 35xx. Surfing on the net, I've also found a msg of Koen Kooi where he described a patch to be applied on /arch/arm/Makefile in order to let gcc 4.3.x work.
Now I am not an expert of toolchain and I didn't understand what is the actual status, thus my question is: may I use the toolchain coming with the ELDK 4.2 to compile for omap35xx or do I have to apply some patches?
I am not aware of any problems when using the ELDK to build code for the OMAP processors. There may be benchmarks where other toolchains give some percent betterperformance, but as far as U-Boot or Linux is concerned that should not be a problem (if you are even able to measure the difference).
