Hello,

Thanks for the feedback; since 4.4.7 was released less than a month ago I was
not aware of this. The reason of choosing 4.4 was that I didn't dare to go
upper in versions.

The good news is that, after another "make distclean" compiler got beyond
c-common.c and eventually going forward...

Accepting your statement, please advise what is the best bet for a compiler for
such an archaic architecture (considering that Lenny is last of Debian that
supports arm; Squeeze supports only armel). Does it make sense to even try
compiling e.g. 4.7, or I should stay as low as possible, with 4.5 being the
oldest one maintained? (none beyond 4.4 list armv5 in "successful builds")

Generally speaking; is there a list on supported architectures / cpus at least?

Thanks in advance,
G.
