compiling a simple "hello world example" Microchip PIC32 ( march is 24ks) fails...

[Branko]

I'd like to use my system gcc if possible to compile for such simple 
micro ( no OS, no infrastructure, need barebone implementation).


I'm running Gentoo on x86_64, with gcc-8.3.0


So I cobbled up one three line example and within it just main functioin 
that does nothing, except returns.


Then I tried "gcc -march=24kc main.c".


But compiler fails with unknown architecture, even though 24ks is listed 
under MIPS.


It outputs a list of suppported arches, and all of them are just within 
x86/x86_64 world. No ARM, not Power, nothing else.


How should this be done ?


I don't think about going crosscompile as the compiler will run on my 
host machine, while it's results would run on the micro...


Best regards,



Branko
