Linaro Stable Binary Toolchain Release GCC 5.1-2015.08

The Linaro Toolchain Working Group is pleased to announce the availability of the Linaro Stable Binary Toolchain GCC 5.1-2015.08 Release Archives.

These archives provide cross-toolchain executables (compiler, debugger, linker, etc.) and shared libraries (libstdc++, libc, etc.) that target ARM or Aarch64 GNU/Linux and bare-metal environments. The cross-toolchain binaries execute on a Linux or MS Windows (under mingw32) host operating-system.

Beginning with the Linaro 4.9-2014.11 release, Linaro has changed the layout and structure of its prebuilt toolchain binary release archives. The Linaro 4.9-2014.11 release is the first release built with ABE. ABE provides a maintainable and flexible toolchain building, benchmarking, validation, and release framework. For further details on ABE, please visit https://wiki.linaro.org/ABE.

The folders above describe the ARM and Aarch64 target triplets, i.e., the system on which you want your programs/applications to run. For more details on triplets, please click here.

Each folder contains a manifest.txt file further describing the target and host systems meant for the toolchain and the toolchain component source versions.

NEWS

2015.08

The Linaro GCC 5.1 2015.08 binary toolchain release is based on the Linaro GCC-5.1-2015.08 source archive release. The major changes contained in 2015.08 over 2015.05 are described in the sections below on 2015.08-rc1 and 2015.08-rc2.

2015.08-rc2

The Linaro GCC 5.1 2015.08-rc2 binary toolchain release-candidate is based on the Linaro GCC-5.1-2015.08-rc1 release-candidate source archive. The only changes between 2015.08-rc1 and 2015.08-rc2 were the following changes in how the binary toolchains were built. The compiler itself was not changed.

  • x86_64 hosted, armv8l-linux-gnueabihf targetted cross toolchains are now correctly configured. This was broken in 2015.08-rc1. The cross-compiler targetting armv8l-linux-gnueabihf is now correctly configured with --with-arch=armv8-a --with-fpu=neon-fp-armv8 --with-float=hard --disable-multilib --enable-multiarch.
  • Glibc’s slibdir and libdir were once again modified to address Linaro Bugzilla 1717 – Linaro-4.9-2015.05 moved system libs from /libc/lib/ to /libc/usr/lib/ which breaks things. The following are now the correct locations:
    • libdir=lib/ (linker-scripts and static archives)
    • slibdir=usr/lib/ (shared objects)
    • rtlddir=lib/ (dynamic linker)

2015.08-rc1

  • x86_64 hosted, armv8l-linux-gnueabihf targetted cross toolchain now provided.
    • Delivering on REQ-477 – Enable x86_64 to Aarch32 (32-bit ARMv8-A) cross binary toolchain product release and CARD-1637 – Enable Aarch32 (32-bit ARMv8-A) cross binary toolchain product releases, armv8l-linux-gnueabihf targetted toolchains are now available as part of this release.
  • Python support in GDB for both Linux and Mingw32 (32-bit windows).
  • Added missing expat support to GDB.
  • multi-lib enablement for arm bare-metal targets.
    • As discussed in ABE Review 6862 , this is required for baremetal toolchains.
  • Library Paths are now congruent with older Linaro Toolchain path layouts. This addresses Linaro Bugzilla 1717 – Linaro-4.9-2015.05 moved system libs from /libc/lib/ to /libc/usr/lib/ which breaks things.
    • libdir=lib/ (shared objects)
    • slibdir=usr/lib/ (static libraries)
    • rtlddir=lib/ (dynamic linker)

NOTES

  • The toolchain component source release archives for the individual components are at http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/. Select the component (e.g. gcc, glibc, binutils, gdb) as available. If the component isn’t available then it means that a git repository tag or branch was used for the binary toolchain build. Please refer to the manifest files for complete information on the components used to build this toolchain.
  • The binary tarball has been split into 3 parts. As a result, you can install only the parts needed:
    • gcc-linaro-*.tar.xz – the compiler and tools
    • runtime-linaro-*.tar.xz – runtime libraries needed on the target
    • sysroot-linaro-*.tar.xz – sysroot (a set of libraries and headers to develop against)
  • Presently, only the bare-metal toolchains are multilib enabled. There is a plan to enable multilib for arm-linux toolchains in the near future.
  • Beginning 2014.11, sysroots will provide newer glibc versions (as chose by Linaro engineers) in order that users get the latest features and optimizations in the system libraries.
  • Eglibc 2.15 compatible sysroots will no longer be released. Users that require Eglibc 2.15 sysroots that need the latest Linaro GCC compiler should use a previous quarterly released sysroot of the required version.
  • x86 (32-bit) Linux host toolchains are no longer provided. x86_64 (64-bit) Linux host toolchains are provided instead.
  • The arm-linux-gnueabihf targeted toolchain no longer supports soft-float. The arm-linux-gnueabi targeted toolchain should be used for this purpose.
