Dear Stephen,

It might be possible to specify ARMv4T on the link flags and have it pick up the v4T library, even if nearly everything else is ARMv7?
I don't think we use any multilib toolchains, so I don't think that's possible.
I don't even think you need one with multilib support. You need one that provides a libgcc for armv4t, that's all.
It is wrong, always and everywhere, NOT to try to fix the problems at the origin. If your tool chain does not meet your requirements, then the first action should always be to get a working tool chain - ideally by getting the deficiencies of the currnt one fixed, or by using another one.
Working around such problems may be a short term approach to get things running quickly. But it appears that more and more people make it a habit to do just that, without even trying to get the real problems fixed upstream. That's bad, bad, bad.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
