[U-Boot-Users] Uboot-compiler dependency

Hi all,
I am porting uboot to our own arm-based proprietary board. I have a few questions.
i) Is there any dependency between the uboot and compiler version? (like the linux kernel). I have seen on the net & the ReadMe available, but could not find this info anywhere.
ii) Am using u-boot-1.1.4. What compiler can I use? Can I use arm-linux-gcc-3.4.1?
Thanks, Ajay

Yes, there is. You need a *working* toolchain. [Don't take this for granted.]

We never used 3.4, but from the postings on the list I have the impression that this the best base. I know from our own woirk that GCC-3.3.3 (ELDK 3.1.1) and GCC-4.0.0 (ELDK 4.0) work fine.
Best regards,
