I think Worst. Bug. Ever. is a bit of an understatement, but if you have one of those new Google phones, don't text rm -rf /* until you update your firmware... Apparently the last line of the initrc brought up a shell in the background, and all user I/O went through the same device...
Which brings me to: Anyone got a favorite method for putting together an ARM GCC toolchain on Linux?

Oh, the tool I wanted is buildroot.

Grins. Yeah, I didn't read that too closely, and it's worth reading.
Since my link up there earlier was bad: CodeSourcery has cross-compiled versions of the GCC toolchain, including bigger pay-for-support packages that include Eclipse and such, good for working with people who think VisualStudio is something other than the manifestation of the eldritch gods come to eat our souls.
The reason this is a deal is that compiling GCC has become a multi-stage poorly documented bootstrap involving a couple of libraries that don't come in the original tar, and appear to need a "wait for the main compile to error, go try to compile those with the partially compiled gcc, then come back" sort of process.

The "we got a git server in California" line in the LJ post Mark linked made me LOL.

No, actually, much simpler: I just want to type arm-elf-gcc test.c. So, something more like this.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
