Re: [U-Boot-Users] FW: [PATCH][ARM] Rationalize ARM compiler options

---snip---
My postion remains that U-Boot is supplied to build with the latest ELDK toolchain. Supporting all possible toolchains (and all possible builds of those toolchains) is too much effort.
Since I have already implemented a fix in my private U-boot I know this to be false (at least for this specific problem).
I'm not clear here - are you saying that the arm compiler options, in the current U-Boot head, prevent one or more boards building with
arm-linux-gcc (GCC) 4.0.0 (DENX ELDK 4.1.4.0.0)
(excluding build systems which treat all warnings as errors)?
If so, please supply details.

Peter

No, I am saying that these options prevent U-Boot to be built by most things except ELDK, and that removing the "-msoft-float" should allow U-boot to be built by basically anything.
I also think that there is no reason to force someone to use architecture specific tuning, but that U-boot should allow for people to apply this.
