This repository contains PKGBUILDs for gcc arm cross-compiler.
I made these in 2019 because back then there was no working
arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc in any of: Arch, Parabola, Hyperbola, AUR.
If you want to make use of this now, you'll need to adapt it to
newer versions of packages...

I did all this in a bit non-standard way (using -source packages)
because it seemed cleaner than having to pull the same sources
for builds of both glibc and gcc...
These packages actually bootstrap the arm cross-compiler without
the need for an earlier version of it to be present. This
is like (professional) Debian's approach and unlike Arch's.

I inspired heavily from Debian's packaging of gcc cross-compilers.

I (obviously) release my contributions to the PKGBUILDs under
Creative Commons Zero. The original PKGBUILDs I based on were
available on AUR and in Hyperbola's (and maybe Parabola's) repos and
I couldn't find any explicit license notice for them. By common sense
I assume they were not non-free.
