Is there a way to upgrade the current gcc version, which is 4.2.1 at the moment, to say at least 4.3 in scratchbox?

Maybe I haven't been clear enough. I'm trying to build qemu-0.12.2 under scratchbox for target FREMANTLE_ARMEL, but it keeps failing to link because of the undefined reference to __builtin___clear_cache. This function is available in gcc starting from version 4.3.3.

Sorry, but there is no official support for an upgraded or other compiler for the Fremantle SDK.

Cheers Daniel

Is there anything special about the GCC in the SDK? could you not just install the Debian ARM GCC and use that?

Edit: Hmm, just apt-get installed gcc-4.3 in my scratchbox session, it seemed to install ok (after adding some updated libc stuff) but it fails to run:

Code:
sbox-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc-4.3: No such file or directory
I'm guessing that when scratchbox calls gcc it runs it through a wrapper script or something.

Exactly. It uses some sort of wrapper to call the gcc.

But, it also states that a user should be able to use a foreign toolchain, as stated here:

I shall try this as soon as I get back home.
