I would suggest trying crossdev with the target: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
m68k-softfloat-uclinux-uclibc |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
See http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/handbook/?part=1&chap=3 |

If it's supported directly in the linux kernel, then you might be able |
| 16 |
to just use |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
m68k-softfloat-linux-uclibc |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
but I'm not sure if that will work. |
| 21 |

Use uclibc for sure (no mmu). uClibc also has a dynamic / shared object |
| 23 |
loader as well, which was developed in recent years, so even on mmu-less |
| 24 |
systems you can still use functions analogous to dlopen(), dlsym() (AFAIK). |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Of course, whether or not the patchsets are incorporated is another |
| 27 |
story, but since Coldfire is a pretty well ironed-out architecture, I'm |
| 28 |
sure you won't have any issues. |

Using portage as a build tool for mmu-less systems is a great idea in my |
| 31 |
opinion. I would suggest using Ned's crossdev-wrappers as well (search |
| 32 |
the list). |
