We currently support gcc as old as 4.3. However, Buildroot works perfectly well with even older gcc versions (tested with 4.1). So we can add an option BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_GCC_OLD to support that. The help text of this option is written with plenty of discouragement. We use _OLD and not something like _PRE_4_3, because at some point we will likely remove the 4.3 option and what would then require a name change. We don't set any _AT_LEAST option in this case because it's no use - there is no lower bound on the version in this case. We therefore leave BR2_TOOLCHAIN_GCC_AT_LEAST empty (the implicit default). When it is empty, we don't do a version check at all in check_gcc_version (previously we errored out when it was empty).

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
