@knc1: Huh, I wasn't aware of Linaro's ct-ng branch... (FWIW, I'm using upstream's ct-ng, it supports Linaro's GCC/GDB fine

).
Their sample softfp config is very similar to what I do for my K3/K5 TC, except I don't rely on their prebuilt lib/kernel, and I don't default to thumb mode (in fact, I've never used it, going by the assumption that thumb1 wasn't worth it... I might have to look into it for the K5, which supports thumb2...)
