Description:

This is a cross-compilation version of GNU Binutils, which can be used to
assemble and link binaries for the %{target} platform.

This Binutils package is based on the CodeSourcery
%{cs_date}-%{cs_rel} release, which includes improved ARM target
support compared to the corresponding FSF release.  CodeSourcery
contributes their changes to the FSF, but it takes a while for them to
get merged.  For the ARM target, effectively CodeSourcery is upstream
of FSF.

Note that this is part of a cross-development chain targeting "bare-metal"
development or for use with an embedded RTOS, as opposed to cross-developing
for Linux.

This review request obsoletes an earlier review request for
arm-none-eabi-binutils, bug #565313.

Can you comment on how this relates to the existing
armv5tel-unknown-linux-gnueabi-binutils review ticket (bug 509798)?  I've no
idea if you're trying to package the same thing or not.

This toolchain is for "bare-metal" cross-development, not for a Linux target. 
That's why it is "arm-none-eabi" rather than
"arm<something>-unknown-linux-gnueabi".  The -linux-gnueabi tools are
well-suited for cross-development for a Linux target, and not so well-suited
for bare metal.  That's why CodeSourcery has completely independent builds of
the toolchain they distribute.

I would like to see a working "bare-metal" cross-development toolchain for
arm7tdmi based microcontrollers in Fedora (my use case will be an ADUC7026).
Are you still interested in this package? If so, I'd like to do a review, and
also help with other packages for the toolchain.
