Thank you for the advice! The toolchain I'm using was provided by manufacturer of the embedded board I am working with. Which toolchain should I pick instead?
reference for u-boot is ELDK [1]. Some use mentor (formerly codesourcery) toolchain [2] successfully. Others build it for there own by one of the million instructions [3]. ct-ng [4], yocto [5], buildroot [6] could also be a good choice.
Should I use the other one for Linux kernel compilation aswell?
You need not, but why care for two different toolchains?
