Hi Bitan,

What are you trying to do exactly? Build GCC on your host machine such that you can run gcc on an ARMv7 target? Or are you trying to compile code for an ARMv7 target on your host machine?

The second one is easy, you just pass '-march=armv7'. I suggest you use our latest version of GCC though, see https://developer.arm.com/open-source/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloads .

As for the first, that will require a bit more work. See https://gcc.gnu.org/install/ for more information.

Cheers,
Andre
