[gentoo-embedded] maverick-crunch queries

[Ahmed Ammar <b33fc0d3@gentoo.org>]

Hello,

I am currently working on some QEMU patches to add support for the
EP93xx (and the ts-7200 board) I have had some general success but this
is far from complete. My main issue is the Maverick-Crunch FPU and some
question to see if anyone has had the same experience.

Which patch-set are people generally using, there seem to be two sets:
1) futaris ones which seem to be the openembedded.org ones and 2) the
cirrus linux ones which are up to version 1.4.3. I have been using the
openembedded ones with gcc-4.2.4 but compiling the arm kernel (which by
default compiles with -msoft-float) will cause a kernel panic on boot.
If on the other hand I use a *-softfloat-* toolchain the kernel boots
fine. Anyone else find the openembedded patches break softfloat
implementation?

Best Regards,
