Package: gcc-arm-none-eabi Version: 4.8.2-14+6 Severity: normal Tags: upstream patch
Hi, I ran into this while cross compiling a kernel for the raspberry pi with this toolchain. I reported weird kernel crashes upstream [0] and found out this is a due to a gcc v4.8 regression [1]. It's fixed upstream on the v4.8 branch [2], but as of this writing still unreleased. The official debian gcc-4.8 package comes with this fix (hidden in the huge svn-updates.diff patch it comes with). Additionally it has all the recent linaro patches on top (where this package only has a couple for m0/m3). There're tons of other fixes and improvements in those patches, and they're already shipping as debian's native compilers on arm platforms. For this issue the mentioned upstream fix would suffice, but why is this neat bare metal cross compiler not build from that source package?
