Thanks for the URL.

I tried to build an rpm on Fedora 14 - x86_64 and it doesn't build:
( srpm file used is
http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/cross/latest/source/gcc-4.1.2-33.fa1.cross5.src.rpm
)

I agree. However, I wanted to know that if we go about providing a
tool-chain which
would support ARMv7, then where would we pick the source code from?

I assume that Fedora tool-chain is built from GNUARM.

Please do correct if my assumption is wrong.
