Re: Compiling libstdc++ lib without PIC

[Benjamin Kosnik <bkoz at redhat dot com>]

I believe CodeSourcery has this toolchain already compiled for you.

See:
http://www.codesourcery.com/gnu_toolchains/arm/

Also, they host mailing lists for arm/GNU tools that might be more useful than this one.

This may indicate that the build failed. Instead of an install, what
does "make all" do? You should have object files here.
